PA(G1' 4, WHITBY FREE PRESS, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 27,.1989 Giannone: minister 'ignores re ali ties' of market In unveiling changes to the proposed federal g sand ser- vices tax (GST), Finance Minis- ter Michael Wilson continues to ignore the realities of the Metro- area housing market, says the uresident of the Toronto Home uilders' Association. "Wilson has added another huge block to the tax wall that is being erected around the Metro region," says Frank Giannone. According to Wilson, the addi- tional federal tax on a new $290,000 Toronto-area home will be $4,800, almost trile the in- crease in the second-Crdest bit city, Vancouver, where the GST is expected to add $1,850 to the price of a new home. "Wilson's statement - made for the fourth time publicly - that the «GST will flot pose a barrier to affordable housing"» is becom- ing tiresome.

Just who la zooming who here?» says Giannone. "Canadians should be no worse off after GST than they were before it. This clearly wiIl not be the case in Toronto if Wilson's proposals become law." Giannone says his association agrees with the concept of tax reform, but one which is fair and equitable, and which recognizes and deiais with the regional dis- parities acroas Canada.
