Taxation

During question period on taxation, members exchanged views on fuel taxes and diesel prices. The Conservatives, citing diesel prices they said were 25 cents a litre above the U.S. and global average, urged the government to support their motion to remove all taxes on diesel until at least July 1, 2027 and to permanently end certain fuel taxes, saying this would cut prices by at least 20 cents a litre and help lower food and goods costs. Liberal ministers pointed to higher Canadian diesel production and a recent three-cent drop in prices, and called on the Conservatives to vote for Bill C-38, the Canadian Fuel Affordability Act, which would extend the temporary fuel excise tax exemption and later set excise rates at half the regular level, arguing it would help farmers, truckers, and families. Each side urged the other to support its own proposal rather than the other’s.Written by AI from the debate. Updated .
