Former B.C. premier Bill Vander Zalm filed what he describes as a "show-stopping" lawsuit yesterday that challenges the constitutionality of HST in B.C.
If successful, HST will no longer apply in the province.
"It's a simple argument that relies on the basic principle that there can be no taxation without representation or without the consent of the people," he said, "And that representation and consent can only come from having the HST debated and voted on in the Provincial Legislature, and that has not happened in B.C."
