Rail Line Blocked

The chief of Batchewana First Nation, near Sault Ste. Marie, says an agreement giving natives a point-of-sale exemption from the GST portion of the HST isn't good enough.

Band members are blocking a rail line that passes outside the band office.

Both the federal and Ontario governments agreed to give the exemption starting in September.

But Chief Dean Sayers says there's no reason it can't take effect July 1st.
