Smith A recent announcement by the federal Finance Committee that it will extend hearings on th'e controversial, Goods and Services Tkx to include most of the regions previously ignored is the first positive development on this front so far. These hearings, you'll recall, were originally to be held without any input from the people of Quebec, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland or the Yukon and Northwest Territories. Committee chairman Don Blenkarn said he didn't expect the submissions to be of high enough quality to warrant trips to the excluded provinces. Like any seasoned politician though, Blenkarn buckled when the water got hot enough. Concerted pressure from the Canadian Federation of Independent Business, and with the support of the opposition Members of Parliament on the committee, the majority Tories apparently, got the message and agreed to extend the ' hearings to: Fredericton, N.B.; Charlottetown, Charlottetown, P.E.I.; St! John's, Nfld. and Whitehorse in the Yukon. The current agenda, however, still leaves the Northwest Northwest Territories and Quebec conspicuously conspicuously absent from the picture. Of course the reason that the committee's committee's Scheduling is such a mess is simple: the federal government wants this whole issue out of its hair in a hurry so the faster it can run the committee committee hearing process through the system, system, the better. But, says CFIB President John Bulloch, an issue as fundamental to every Canadian as tax reform deserves proper treatment. (In opposition, the Tories would probably agree. Before their landslide victory in 1984, the Conservatives travelled to 26 cities in order to hear how Canadians felt about Revenue Canada. "Surely," says Bulloch, "tax reform is no less important. ") The government's proposed 9 per cent GST will replace the current 13.5 per cent tax on the sale of goods and broadens the scope to include services. So, for example, consumers in Saskatchewan will have to pay the new 9 per cent GST and then apply the 7 per cent provincial rate on the federal sales tax rate for a combined sales tax rate of 16.63 per cent. Opposition to the GST has come primarily from consumers and small business, the latter having recently rejected the two- tier tax plan in a CFIB survey by almost 97 per cent. The government committee will be appearing in: Vancouver; Mon. Oct. 2 and Tues. Oct. 3 Edmonton; Wed. Oct. 4 Regina; Thprs. Oct. 5 Winnipeg; Fri. Oct. 6 Ottawa; Oct. 10-17 and Oct. 23-26 Fredericton; to be announced ' Halifax; Wed. Oct. 18 and Thurs. Oct. 19 Added to this list are now Charlottetown, Charlottetown, St. John's and the Yukon. Just how the government proceeds at the end of the Finance Committee's hearings will determine whether they are on the level, or just a sham. CFIB Feature Service bread recipes.
