Newfoundland and Labrador has unveiled details of what it says will be the country's first tax on sugary drinks. Government officials said today the tax will hike prices on drinks with added sugars by 20 cents a litre beginning in September 2022. Provincial officials say the tax, expected to raise roughly $9 million a year, will be unique in Canada. Finance Minister Siobhan Coady says the tax is part of the government’s effort to make Newfoundland and Labrador one of Canada's healthiest provinces by 2031.
