Taxation

Question period focused on diesel and fuel prices and federal fuel taxes. Conservative members said diesel prices had risen sharply over the past year, raising costs for farmers, truckers and families, and asked the government to cut federal taxes on diesel, including the industrial carbon tax, the clean fuel standard charge and the GST on diesel, and to support a Conservative motion to lower fuel costs. Government members said fuel prices were being driven up by world events affecting global markets, and pointed to steps already taken, including suspending the federal carbon price and the federal fuel excise tax, which they said had lowered diesel prices by 25 cents a litre, along with tax cuts and grocery-related payments. Liberal members invited Conservatives to vote for Bill C-38, a bill to extend the suspension of the federal fuel excise tax, which Conservatives had not supported so far.Written by AI from the debate.
