As of today, the province’s sugar-sweetened beverage tax is no more.
Government announced in May that it was scrapping the levy, which charged 20 cents per litre on sugary drinks.
Finance Minister Siobhan Coady said that the tax may have changed the mindset of some, but not all.
The tax, introduced in 2022, resulted in tens of millions of dollars in revenue for the province.
Government has said there will be no cuts to programming that benefited from revenue collected from the sugar tax.
