Finance Minister Michael Wilson says the failure of the Meech Lake accord improves odds the proposed seven per cent goods and services tax will pass the Senate. The accord’s demise frees Mulroney to name Conservative senators for 11 vacancies, shifting balance as Liberal retirements threaten the Liberal majority. Senate hearings on the tax begin July 9 with no date set for a final vote.
