Dalton McGuinty's plan to blend the PST and the GST into one 13% Harmonized Sales Tax ( HST ) represents one of the largest tax hikes in Ontario's history, at a time when families and businesses can least afford it.

This new tax, which we are calling the DST ( Dalton Sales Tax ) , will raise the cost of a long list of goods and services not perviously subject to the provincial sales tax, including:

• Electricity, home heating oil and gas at the pumps

• Haircuts, newspapers and magazines, internet and cable

• Home renovations, heating & air conditioning repairs

• Accounting, legal & real estate fees

• Condo fees and home purchases; rents will also go up

• Minor hockey registration fees will increase;green fees and gym fees will also be taxed.

We, the undersigned, petition the Legislative Assembly of Ontario as follows:

That the McGuinty government not impose this new tax on Ontario's hard-working families and business.
