WATCH: PM Trudeau announces pause on GST for some goods Trudeau government announces 2-month GST pause on some goods Duration 8:31 Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has announced the federal government is pausing the GST on a wide array of products from Dec. 14 to Feb. 15, as part of a suite of new measures meant to alleviate cost-of-living pressures. On Thursday, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland turned up at a grocery store in Sharon, Ont. "These are things that recognize that people are squeezed," Trudeau said, "and we're here to help." Poilievre's argument is that Canadians would be better off if the Liberals instead repealed the federal carbon tax. The GST pause for certain items will reduce federal revenue by $1.7 billion.
