Adjournment Proceedings

In adjournment proceedings, Conservative MP William Stevenson raised the cost of living, saying his constituents face high fuel taxes, rising grocery prices, a complicated tax system and privacy problems at the tax agency, and asking the government to suspend all federal fuel taxes for the rest of the year. Liberal MP Ryan Turnbull replied that the government is cutting taxes and funding programs such as child care, school food and automatic tax filing to help with costs. He said Conservatives vote against these measures, and pressed them on how they would vote on the spring economic update, which he said funds training for up to 100,000 trades workers. Stevenson repeated that the government’s tax relief was not enough and renewed his call to remove federal gas taxes for the year.Written by AI from the debate. Updated .
