The PST is reportedly planned to help cover added expenses the province is facing, including the funds they’re using to help address the surgical wait-list that built up during the COVID pandemic.
Scissons didn’t want to give his opinion on the decision.
“I’m not going to say I’m disappointed one way or another, governments have to make tough decisions.”
Right now, the PST is set to come into effect on Oct. 1, 2022. Scissons added people who buy season tickets ahead of time should be able to get them without having to pay an extra fee afterward.
Those who choose to buy tickets after the date would see a small increase.
“If you look at the price of an adult ticket, which already has GST, we’d be looking at an extra 45 cents.”
