Lobbying activity details:
Develop Duty Free Pharmacy operations for outbound travellers, allowing eligible health and wellness products to be purchased tax and duty free prior to leaving Canada. This would strengthen cross-border competitiveness, drive traffic to duty free locations, and support border communities.
Develop Duty Free Gas stations for outbound travellers, allowing gasoline and diesel to be purchased tax and duty free before leaving Canada. This would strengthen cross-border competitiveness, drive traffic to duty free locations, and support border communities.
Reinstate the Visitor Rebate Program (VRP) to refund GST/HST to foreign visitors on eligible goods exported upon departure and on short-term accommodations. This would support tourism, strengthen retail and border communities, and improve Canada’s competitiveness as a travel destination.
