Canadians in for a tax break this Christmas

There’s a temporary tax break on the way for things including essential items, children’s clothing and restaurants.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says a two-month GST/HST break will apply across the country.

He says it will take effect on December 14 and be in place until February 15.

The move comes amid lingering affordability concerns.
