To the editor:

Now that the PST is to be restored, perhaps someone who voted for that result, or the government, will explain why it is a good thing that, almost alone out of major service providers, clients of lawyers will again face PST of 7 percent on legal fees.

People will remember that, back in the 1990s, the NDP changed sales tax policy, to extend PST to legal services. But the Liberals have not reversed that decision.
