Nova Scotia's Finance Minister, Allan MacMaster, has stated that cutting the harmonized sales tax would be too costly for the province. This comes after New Brunswick Premier Blaine Higgs announced a potential HST cut. MacMaster emphasized that the province has made significant investments in healthcare and it wouldn't be prudent to remove half a billion dollars from the budget. While concerns were raised about potential losses for retailers near the border, MacMaster believes that prioritizing healthcare is what's best for the province.
