From the Federal Economic Development Agency for Northern Ontario<\/em>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n


The past few years have been challenging. It feels like the price of everything has gone up. And while inflation is back to the 2 per cent target and interest rates have been cut four times this year, we know that Canadians aren\u2019t yet feeling that in their household budgets.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our government can\u2019t set prices at the checkout, but we can give Canadians more money in their pockets \u2013 to help them afford the things they need and save for the things they want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe holiday season often comes with additional expenses for families. This year, even as inflation has eased to 2 per cent and interest rates have been reduced four times, we know the need for support remains,\u201d said Patty Hajdu, Minister of Indigenous Services and Minister Responsible for FedNor. \u201cWe\u2019re providing targeted tax relief on groceries and holiday essentials, along with a $250 rebate for working Canadians. These measures are about easing the burden, so you can focus on celebrating with loved ones and begin the new year with a little more financial peace of mind.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today in Thunder Bay the Minister of Indigenous Services and Minister responsible for the Federal Economic Development Agency for Northern Ontario, the Honourable Patty Hajdu highlighted the government\u2019s plan to put more money in Canadians\u2019 pockets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced on November 21, starting December 14, we\u2019re giving a tax break to all Canadians. With a GST\/HST exemption across the country, Canadians will be able to buy essentials like groceries, snacks, children\u2019s clothing, and gifts \u2013 all tax-free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This new tax break will apply to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
