Business of Supply

An opposition day motion on affordability. The Conservatives proposed eliminating fuel taxes, including the sales tax on fuels, for the rest of the year, saying their policies caused the cost of living crisis and would save families over $1,200. Liberals said the government had already cut fuel costs, including removing the consumer carbon price, and pointed to measures like child care, the child benefit, dental care and pension increases; they argued the motion was too narrow, would cut revenue for social programs, and that ending the clean fuel regulations would hurt farmers who sell crops for biofuels. Bloc Québécois members asked why the motion did not address money owed to Quebec over past federal rebate cheques, and suggested regulating fuel prices instead of cutting taxes. One exchange included a point of order about noise in the chamber.Written by AI from the debate. Updated .
