“People in Elliot and across Canada will be hit hard by rising heating costs as winter sets in. Heating your home in Canada is not a luxury, especially not in Northern Ontario,” said Layton.
Layton says Harper’s HST on home heating has put Northern Ontario households under even more financial pressure. “It’s time for Mr. Harper to do the right thing and stop gouging Northern Ontarians on their heating bills.”
