Business of Supply

The House debated a Conservative supply motion on fuel affordability, which calls for cutting fuel taxes, including on diesel, speeding up approvals for fuel projects, and increasing Canadian fuel production. Conservatives argued high fuel taxes raise costs for farmers, truckers and rural drivers, driving up food prices and food bank use, and pointed to diesel prices higher than in the U.S. and global averages. Liberals defended the government’s affordability measures, including a bill to extend the fuel excise tax suspension until January 2027 and then cut rates in half for two months, along with income tax cuts, the school food program, grocery benefits, and the removal of the consumer carbon price, and cautioned against comparing fuel prices across countries. The NDP member called for an excess profits tax on oil companies, pointing to record industry profits. Members also exchanged points on party records on the carbon tax, foreign investment leaving or entering Canada, and which side had voted against affordability programs.Written by AI from the debate.
