Justin Trudeau tries to find a cure for 'inflationitis'
WATCH: PM Trudeau announces pause on GST for some goods Trudeau government announces 2-month GST pause on some goods Duration 8:31 Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has announced the federal government is pausing the GST on a wide array of products from Dec. 14 to Feb. 15, as part of a suite of new measures meant to alleviate cost-of-living pressures. On Thursday, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland turned up at a grocery store in Sharon, Ont. "These are things that recognize that people are squeezed," Trudeau said, "and we're here to help." Poilievre's argument is that Canadians would be better off if the Liberals instead repealed the federal carbon tax. The GST pause for certain items will reduce federal revenue by $1.7 billion.

Federal government's tax pause will cost P.E.I. coffers about $14 million
Premier Dennis King says the federal government's two-month tax pause could cost the province roughly $14 million. (Rick Gibbs/CBC - image credit)Prince Edward Island Premier Dennis King says the federal government's two-month sales tax pause could cost the province roughly $14 million due to the loss of its provincial portion of the harmonized sales tax. Prince Edward Island is one of five provinces with an HST, and the federal tax pause means that the provincial portion of the tax won't be collected either. During Friday's sitting of the provincial legislature, King said there is no agreement on whether the federal government will reimburse the province for the $14-million loss. But we will, again, we will support this initiative with the federal government even though we didn't have any consultation."
