Taxation
During question period on taxation, Conservatives asked the government to remove all taxes on diesel until at least next Canada Day, arguing that high diesel prices are hurting farmers, truckers, and food costs, with members citing an Alberta farmer whose fuel bill rose from $50,000 to $130,000 and seniors in Newfoundland and Labrador struggling to afford driving and heating. Liberals replied that world events are driving fuel prices up, pointed to support for canola farmers including a renewable diesel facility in Alberta, and cited measures such as new trade markets, the Churchill Falls investment benefiting Newfoundland and Labrador, and affordable housing funding.Written by AI from the debate.
