Let's put this behind us

Dear Editor: Now that British Columbians have voted decisively to abandon the HST and go back to the former PST/GST system it is in everyone's interest for the transition to occur as quickly as possible.

Dear Editor:

Now that British Columbians have voted decisively to abandon the HST and go back to the former PST/GST system it is in everyone's interest for the transition to occur as quickly as possible.

Finance Minister Kevin Falcon said the change back would be completed by March 31, 2013. Surely they can move faster than that. I am concerned that delay will result in a loss of investment and other economic activity. Changing back will be difficult and time consuming, but I ask Minister Falcon to please make every possible effort to speed things up as much as possible so that we can put this sad period in our political history behind us.
