Chief Vernon Syrette of Batchewana First Nation wants nothing to do with Revenue Canada's latest policy change.
Syrette wrote Customs and Revenue Agency (CCRA) Minister Martin Cauchon on Nov. 15, telling the minister the new policy was contrary to current GST regulations and Section 87 of the Indian Act. The chief urged the minister to recall flyers sent to First Nations that explain the change and to reconsider the whole thing.
