Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer is promising to remove federal sales tax from Canadians' home-heating bills as part of an early election campaign commitment.

If elected in the October federal election, Scheer says he would offer rebates to Canadians for the five per cent tax charged on all residential home energy, including heating oil, electricity, natural gas, propane, wood pellets and other

heating sources.The rebate would be capped at a maximum of $200 per household and would not be available for commercial energy costs.People who live in provinces that have harmonized provincial and federal sales taxes would get the same rebate.
