Business of Supply

A Conservative opposition day motion calling on the government to lower diesel costs, including removing federal taxes on diesel until July 2027 and expanding Canadian fuel production. Conservatives said record-high diesel prices, driven by federal taxes and rules that hinder energy projects, are hurting farmers, northern communities and grocery costs. Liberals said global factors are driving prices, pointed to tax relief they have already introduced, and argued the motion ignores Canada’s integrated refining ties with the United States. The Bloc Québécois members opposed cutting the gas tax, arguing funds should go to old age security instead, and raised concerns about government spending on a pipeline and the Alto train project. Green Party member Elizabeth May focused on foreign ownership of Canada’s oil sector and subsidies to foreign-owned projects, and exchanged views with Conservatives on processing raw materials in Canada.Written by AI from the debate.
