If you file GST reports already, the HST change may only affect you on a short term basis. For our business, it is potentially positive, as I currently have to pay PST but it's simply a cost. Now I will be able to use the PST component as a credit.

Still waiting to see what the net affect is, but it should be neutral to positive.
