A citizen's initiative application to kill the incoming H-S-T has been approved by Elections BC.
The initiative petition is a legally binding petition that, if successful, will require the BC government to hold a referendum on the H-S-T, or repeal it in the legislature.
Lead organizer Chris Delaney says canvassers will be out and about April 6th.
He says he is seeing continued anger and continued resistance to the tax.
In all, ten percent of registered voters in all 85 BC ridings must sign the petition in 90 days in order for it to be successful.
