Taxation

During oral questions on taxation, Conservatives pressed the government to support their bill, the Used Car Tax Cut Act, which would remove the GST from used vehicle sales by making them zero-rated under the Excise Tax Act. They argued used car prices have roughly doubled in recent years, that the same car can be taxed multiple times as it is resold, and that families depend on vehicles to get around. Liberal ministers replied by listing the government’s affordability measures, including the suspension of the federal excise tax on gasoline, the removal of the GST for first-time homebuyers, and programs such as dental care, child care and grocery supports, and said Conservatives should vote for those plans rather than only complain. Several exchanges also turned to broader arguments about which party’s record on affordability was stronger.Written by AI from the debate. Updated .
