From the Niagara Falls Review:
With Niagara Falls $35 million closer to a convention centre, the federal government’s plan to keep the GST rebate program for conventions and group tours is good news to those who feared millions of dollars in cancelled reservations.
But Chuck Loewen has little reason to celebrate.
Loewen is general manager of the Peace Bridge Duty Free, where some 40,000 rebates to individual travellers were processed last year.
“That’s not an insignificant number,” he said.
