Help us fight to keep the Visitor Rebate Program (VRP)

Recently there have been changes in the Canadian sales tax programs but the VRP was overlooked, and it may now be eliminated. The VRP allows visitors to Canada to get a rebate for half, that is 7%, of the 14% tax on their costs of travel to Canada. If the VRP were to be eliminated, this would essentially reflect a price increase of $258.65 USD on top of the cost of a week’s trip to our lodges. Therefore, I would like to invite readers to visit the URL http://www.petitiononline.com/vrp1/ and to sign a petition addressed to the Hon. James Flaherty, Minister of Finance, to help save the Visitor Rebate Program, or at least replace it with a new model. You are required only to give your name, location, and email address —you have the right to keep your email address private. Please help us save our VRP.
