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.

From a personal point of view, we were at the Falls for 4 days last week….intended to say 5 days, but bailed out due to rainy conditions.
We stopped at the Duty Free for the rebate amounting to roughly $21.00, usually it is more the longer we stay.
We bought some liquor thus using the $21.00 plus $49.00 more.
Now that the Rebate Program is being cancelled, we will no longer have a reason to stop at the Duty Free thus I see it as everyone is losing!!!
