HST Protest Continues

The premier says he looks forward to seeing the Tories in the legislature today so they can continue their debate over the controversial HST.

Monday, the Progressive Conservatives stormed out of the legislature in a protest over the merged tax after their Leader Tim Hudak tried to unsuccessfully get the premier to hold public hearings on the legislation.

The New Democrats say the Tories should do more than walk out of question period to protest the harmonized sales tax.

NDP Leader Andrea Horwath says the Conservatives should convince their federal cousins in Ottawa to abandon the plan to harmonize sales taxes.
