The federal government announced the plan to waive the five per cent goods and services tax on certain items.

Items included in the tax holiday include toys for children under 14 , diapers, puzzles, books, and some foods.

Provinces with a harmonized provincial and federal sales tax — such as Nova Scotia — will see the full HST waived.
