Description: In Budget 2017-18, the Government of the Northwest Territories committed to investigate the introduction of a sugar-sweetened drinks tax as a price incentive to discourage the consumption of sugary drinks that are linked to health issues such as obesity and diabetes, and oral health problems. As part this investigation, the Department of Finance engaged with the public and other stakeholders, including releasing a discussion paper on a sugar-sweetened tax proposal, conducting an online survey and holding public meetings in Yellowknife, Inuvik and Tuktoyaktuk to gather comments on the approach, rates, and products to be included in the tax and the overall benefits and implications of the tax.
