Bring Back the Residential Energy Rebate

These are the reasons for this petition:

In 2011 the PC government lifted the provincial part of HST from residential heat due to advocacy from the NL NDP;
The Residential Energy Rebate was later cancelled by the same PC government in 2014;
Heating in our province is a necessity, but many people cannot afford it because incomes have not kept up with inflation;
People should not have to pay tax on essential goods and services like home heating; and
Living in a cold home puts people at greater risk for health problems like high blood pressure, and worsening symptoms of diabetes or arthritis, adding to the strain on our troubled healthcare system.

Therefore, we, the undersigned, call upon the House of Assembly to urge government to bring a HST rebate on home heating.
