While some First Nations people are planning to hold onto their sales receipts, others are not happy with having to pay the provincial portion of the HST tax.
“It’s too much,” said Bearskin Lake’s Tina Peters during her July 4 shopping trip in Thunder Bay. “I almost brought some little stuff and with the HST it almost came up to a $1,000.”
