The Federal NDP is taking aim at new HST rules taxing Northern Ontario’s medical transportation system.
MP Charlie Angus claims the government has decided to apply the HST to bio-medical flights that have already been approved by the Ontario Ministry of Health.
Angus says they should be going after off-shore tax havens instead of shaking down vital medical services in the north.
Minister of National Revenue Kerry-Lynne Findlay didn’t directly address the question about medical flights but instead stated the government has zero tolerance on international tax invasion.
