Adjournment Proceedings
An adjournment debate on affordability and the cost of living, in the context of the Spring Economic Update 2026 Implementation Act. Andrew Lawton of the Conservatives said Canadians are struggling with the cost of food, rent and fuel, argued the government should remove all federal taxes on gasoline for the rest of the year rather than the temporary cut in the bill, and said government spending should be reduced. Brendan Hanley of the Liberals said the government is responding to affordability pressures, pointing to the pause of the federal fuel tax until Labour Day, grocery payments to households, and the bill’s extension of the Home Buyers’ Plan repayment period. Lawton replied that the member had previously defended the carbon pricing system he now takes credit for removing, and repeated the call to eliminate federal fuel taxes for the full year.Written by AI from the debate.
