MIKE HARCOURT . .GST can be beaten

Leaders to ‘fine tune... fight’

VICTORIA (CP) — New Democratic Party leaders wjll brain- storm over new ways to fight the proposed goods and services tax during a meeting next month in Toronto, B.C. Opposition Leader Mike Harcourt said.

New Democrats still believe the seven per cent tax, scheduled to come into effect Jan. 1, can be beaten, Har- court said.

“I’m going to be meeting shortly with (federal Leader) Audrey McLaughlin, with (Ontario Premier) Bab Rae with a number of other New Democrat leaders in this country to continue our fight against the GST,”’ he said.

The meeting scheduled for Nov. 3 was called ‘‘to fine tune that fight,”’ Harcourt said.

Although he didn’t elaborate on new ways to fight the tax, he said the Tory government still may crack un- der the pressure of public opinion Polls suggesting the tax is hated and the government has little public sup- port.

The NDP will continue to support court challenges to the GST and the Liberal-led Senate opposition to it, Harcourt said.

Harcourt, meanwhile, accused Premier Bill Vander Zalm and Finan- ce Minister Mel Couvelier of trying to play both sides in the GST fight.

Couvelier acknowledged the B.C. goverament and federal officials are

ing how to it the GST

in British Columbia should it become law.

At least two officials from his ministry and an official from Revenue Canada’s excise branch have been working together for the last month, trying to determine whether the GST will apply to hundreds of different Provincial fees and licences.

Couvelier denied the talks indicate the government’s acceptance of the GST.

It would be irresponsible for his government to refuse to talk to federal officials about the impact the GST will have on British Columbia, he said.

“‘We are firmly committed in our fight against the GST,” Couvelier said. ‘I categorically reject there is anything improper in these talks.””

But Harcourt said the Socred government ‘‘can’t have it both ways.””

“Either the government opposes the tax or it doesn’t. If this is war they're certainly collaborating with the enemy.””

The talks appear to support com- ments made earlier this month by federal Justice Minister Kim Cam- pbell, who said the Socred gover- nment privately supports the GST, Harcourt said

Vander Zalm denied Campbell's allegations at the time.
