Alward Downplays H-S-T Increase

Premier Alward is all but ruling out any talk of an increase in the H-S-T in the new year.
Alward tells CHSJ News his mandate during last year's election campaign didn't include any move to raise the tax.
He says the government's fiscal house isn't in order and that has to happen before any increase in revenues.
And Alward says under existing legislation any move to increase the H-S-T would have to be put to a referendum.
