Government Business No. 12—Proceedings on Bill C-30

Bill C-30, Spring Economic Update 2026 Implementation Act · Motion on how the bill proceeds · now law Where it stands

The House debated Bill C-30, the Spring Economic Update 2026 Implementation Act, which puts into law measures from the government’s spring economic update, including changes to the Labour Mobility Deduction for tradespeople, a temporary cut of the excise tax on gasoline and diesel, extensions of alcohol excise duty caps, and various other tax, employment insurance, and regulatory measures. Conservative members opposed the bill, saying government spending and borrowing were raising costs and interest rates, that taxes and regulations were making life less affordable, and that the bill was not addressing housing; they also moved an amendment about the bill’s debate and argued it was being rushed without enough time for expert study. Bloc Québécois members criticized the government’s dropping of the digital services tax and suggested reviving job-preserving benefits, while also questioning Conservative spending priorities. Liberal members said Conservatives were delaying bills through filibuster rather than addressing the country’s challenges. Some time was also taken up with discussion of the Snowbirds aircraft being cancelled, military support, health care spending, and procedural exchanges about closure and speaking rules.Written by AI from the debate.
