A government response was recently received to the petition presented to parliament in November 2025 that requested HST/GST exemption for massage therapy in Canada.

The federal Minister of Finance, François-Philippe Champagne, indicated that the government understands that massage therapy is regulated in five provinces, and reiterated that HST/GST exemption is not automatic, and requires a formal application to the Minister of Finance.

Champagne confirmed that a formal request for exemption has been received and is currently being reviewed by the Ministry of Finance.

We will be using this encouraging response to support our request for a follow-up meeting with Remi Gagnon, Policy Advisor for the Ministry of Finance. We met with him this summer and spoke about how HST exemption would improve healthcare access and ensure that massage therapy is aligned with other regulated health professions regulated in five provinces.

We look forward to providing further updates as this issue progresses.

For individuals who experience any chronic pain, the pain doesn’t just impact their day-to-day life when they’re awake. Chronic pain is a 24-7 problem and can make a good night’s sleep a daunting and difficult prospect. Massage therapy can help people with chronic pain reduce their pain so that they can improve their sleep quality.

Just a heads up-Wondering why our posts have been limited? We have been purposely decreasing the time spent on social media in order to zone in on patient care and continuing education. There are only so many hours in the day and we want to spend it wisely. Instead of deleting the accounts entirely, we decided to keep a minimalist approach to social media. If you need an experienced therapist that is patient care focused in Regina, we are here to assist you. Body Connections is a small local wellness business, female owned and operated for 21 years. We have an established caseload but always welcome new patients.
