Adjournment Proceedings

In adjournment proceedings, Arnold Viersen (Conservative) raised diesel prices, which he said have risen over 80 percent, and asked the government to adopt the Conservative plan to cut diesel taxes, remove the industrial carbon price and clean fuel standard, and build more pipelines and refineries. Claude Guay (Liberal) replied that the government is addressing cost-of-living pressures through measures including the paused fuel tax, grocery rebate, and removal of the sales tax on new homes for first-time buyers, and said high prices stem from global factors like the war in Ukraine. Viersen said his question about a constituent’s situation had not been addressed and repeated his call to remove taxes on diesel. Guay pointed to the extension of fuel tax relief and said co-operation with international partners has helped bring fuel prices down.Written by AI from the debate. Updated .
