Point-of-Sale Debate Continues

There's optimism from some native leaders regarding the HST.

Grand Chief of the Nishnawbe Aski Nation Stan Beardy says he's encouraged a solution could be reached on continuing a point-of-sale tax exemption for native people following meetings this week with both the provincial and federal governments.


"We still have a lot of work to do," says Beardy, "but I guess the fact that their willing to sit down and talk to us is an a positive indication perhaps they're trying to work with us.

First Nations have been asking the governments to continue the point of sale tax exemption when HST comes into effect July 1.
