Ottawa tax plan sparks renewed talks with provinces
Finance Minister Michael Wilson signaled willingness to reopen talks on a federal nine percent sales tax with the provinces. He criticized premiers for rejecting the plan without offering alternatives and said he remains skeptical until a reasonable provincial proposal is complete. The premiers in Quebec City denounced the tax as unacceptable, warning it would raise rates and hurt employment and regional development. The nine percent levy is set to take effect January 1, 1991, embedded in prices rather than listed, according to lawmakers and business leaders.
