Given the nature of this Sask. Party government, one can\u0027t think of Ottawa doing anything more unhelpful than asking to work in partnership.
Notwithstanding those in Saskatchewan’s construction industry calling Ottawa’s move a “great first step” that should prompt provincial government change, Harpauer was quick to dismiss even the remote possibility of eliminating the construction PST any time soon.
She further re-emphasized that the PST on construction is “necessary to shift away from an over-reliance on volatile natural resource revenues and more toward a stable revenue base.” “While the federal government continues to implement significant national policies with no regard for consultation or engagement, Saskatchewan remains committed to working closely with the construction sector to understand ongoing challenges,” wrote Harpauer, seemingly unavailable to explain specifically why she keeps refusing the one thing the construction industry has repeatedly asked for.
Federal Minister of Housing, Infrastructure and Communities Sean Fraser wrote to Moe and Minister of Social Services Gene Makowsky, encouraging the province to drop the PST as “one of many measures we could advance to help restore affordability in the housing market.”
