Adjournment Proceedings

An adjournment debate on fuel affordability and the government’s position on temporarily suspending the federal excise tax on gasoline and diesel, as proposed in the Canadian Fuel Affordability Act. Cheryl Gallant of the Conservatives argued that diesel costs have risen sharply, raising costs for farmers and for food and shipping, and asked why the government would not support the Conservative emergency fuel relief plan, pointing to what she described as government spending and regulations driving up costs. Parliamentary Secretary Mike Kelloway replied that global instability, tariffs from Canada’s largest trading partner, and rising costs are straining household budgets, and said the government supports keeping the federal tax off fuel until early 2027 as targeted cost relief. Some of the exchange went to a side dispute over Gallant’s remark that the parliamentary secretary had confused the geography of her riding, which she noted contains nearly 1,000 farms, none within the city of Pembroke.Written by AI from the debate.
