Canada - A municipal GST for infrastructure?

If quebecers are sick of taxes, the Coalition for Infrastructure Renewal of Quebec says they're even sicker of potholes, threadbare bridges and leaky waterpipes.

Coalition president and mayor of Laval Gilles Vaillancourt says a poll commissioned by his coalition shows 75 percent of respondents would pass up the recently-announced one-point rollback in the GST to put the money in infrastructure instead.  He says they'd even be agreeable to a municipal GST, but only if they could certain that the money would go only to infrastructure.
