From the CBC:
Trudeau government to announce GST vacation on certain items before Christmas.
The Liberal government and the NDP have agreed to introduce a two-month GST vacation on certain items before the holiday season, Radio-Canada has learned.
The measure is part of a multi-billion-dollar package designed to provide relief to families hit by rising prices. Ottawa also plans to send cheques to some Canadians in the spring.
Sources said the federal government will announce the temporary GST relief Thursday, which should take effect before Christmas. A long list of items are targeted, including certain grocery products on which the federal tax applies, such as beer, wine and prepared hot meals.
Ottawa will also temporarily suspend the GST on diapers, children's clothing and shoes, children's car seats and toys, among other items.
I guess the campaign has started?
