“I want the government to remove all federal taxes on gas and diesel for the rest of 2026. This would lower fuel prices by up to 25 cents per litre and reduce the cost of everyday goods.”
Official Hansard

Mr. Speaker, Canadians are being forced to choose between a full tank of gas and a full grocery cart. After 10 years of rising costs, the government’s plan only offered limited, short-term relief that has not actually lowered prices at the pump. Conservatives have a plan for a full tank, which is to scrap all federal gas and diesel taxes for the rest of 2026, saving Canadians up to 25¢ per litre and over $1,200 for a family, because when we lower the cost of fuel, we lower the cost of everything. That matters because every truck driver delivering the goods, every small business needing those goods and every commuter that goes to work will feel this cost-savings in their wallets. Canadians do not need another announcement. They need relief. It is time to deliver relief for Canadians that they can actually feel.
