Business of Supply

The House debated a Conservative supply motion calling on the government to remove all federal taxes on gasoline and diesel, including the GST, for the rest of the year and to permanently end the clean fuel standard, arguing that fuel and grocery costs are too high and that the government’s temporary fuel tax cut is not enough. Conservative members said high fuel taxes raise the price of everything, cited constituents struggling with costs, and said rural drivers would benefit most from relief. Liberal members replied that the government is already helping with affordability, citing the temporary fuel tax cut, the grocery benefit, income tax reductions, housing measures and the school food program, and said the Conservatives have voted against such measures. Bloc Québécois members said they would oppose the motion, arguing that cutting fuel taxes mainly benefits wealthy people and oil companies, would add billions to the deficit, and questioning the Conservatives’ deficit stance; a Bloc member also raised Quebec’s loss related to carbon tax rebate payments.Written by AI from the debate.
