Taxation
Question period exchanges on fuel taxes and their cost to farmers and consumers. The Conservatives said the clean fuel standard adds costs at the pump, citing departmental estimates of seven cents a litre rising to seventeen, and asked why the Prime Minister had said it added no cost. The Liberals said the actual costs are lower than the figures quoted, that the clean fuel standard raises the price of canola by about ten percent to farmers’ benefit, and pointed to the suspension of the federal fuel excise tax under Bill C-38 as lowering diesel costs. Some of the exchange also went to remarks about the Prime Minister’s attendance in the House and his record.Written by AI from the debate. Updated .
