HST: Jobs for our Families, Stability for our Economy

When the global recession hit, the province took action. Ontario's new tax system, including HST, has already delivered results — our economy is turning the corner and jobs are coming back for hardworking families.

Since HST was introduced a year ago:

  • 74,000 new jobs have been created in Ontario.
  • Ontario's real GDP increased by 2.8 per cent in 2010, and RBC's recent forecast predicts 2011 will bring our highest growth rate since 2000.
  • The unemployment rate has declined to 7.9 per cent.
