Summer HST tolls on First Nations land

A number of First Nations communities are preparing to impose toll fees on traffic passing through their territories over the HST. Anishinabek Nation Chiefs meeting at Fort William First Nation endorsed a resolution directing their bands to begin advertising their intentions for this summer. Native leaders want a point-of-sale tax exemption now given to aboriginal people extended when HST kicks in July 1st.
