How new HST affect exemptions (Continued from front) siding in those provinces," says Montour. Since 1996, those named Maritime provinces exempted Status Indians of GST/HST, if purchases are made on a reserve or are delivered to a reserve by a vendor or the vendor's agent. Off reserve purchases however, are subject to the HST. To receive the PST exemption, Status Indians must retain their proof of purchase and submit any/all receipts to the province for PST reimbursement. "Will Ontario follow suit with these maritime provinc­es and impose the same system?" Montour wonders. He and his council have many concerns which will be asked of both Duguid and the Ministry of Finance officials when they meet Wednesday, April 1, at Queens Park with the Chiefs of Ontario. There will be an update which will appear in the Tekawennake next week, after Wednesday's meeting.
