Prime Minister Stephen Harper officially will shave another point off the GST when he comes to Mississauga tomorrow for an early morning New Year's Eve announcement.
Harper, along with his Finance Minister Jim Flaherty, will appear at an electronics store in the Heartland Town Centre at 7:30 a.m. Tomorrow's event will be held in the same complex where, during the 2006 election campaign, Harper announced his pledge to cut the GST from seven to five per cent.
The next cut to the tax, bringing it down from six to five per cent, will come into effect on Jan. 1.
Over the past month, Mayor Hazel McCallion has been critical of Harper and Flaherty, expressing her concern repeatedly and vehemently that the federal government is not doing enough to support cities.
City Council recently attached a five per cent surcharge on top of regular tax hikes to pay for infrastructure improvements that can't be postponed.
