text: Can the media please report the reduction correctly.  The elimination of the 8% portion of the HST is not a savings to small businesses that currently claim an ITC on HST.  So the reduction for most of us is only 17%.
  
  And after doubling our hyrdo rates over the last number of years, a 17% reduction will do what for us?
  Oh ya, this reduction is being funded by more provincial debt......
