Taxation
In question period on taxation, the Conservative leader asked repeatedly why the government keeps a 16-cent-a-litre charge under its clean fuel rules, saying most of the biofuel refiners must buy comes from the United States and that the money goes to large American companies rather than Canadian farmers, while raising costs for gas and groceries. Liberal ministers replied that Canada has the strongest fiscal position in the G7, that the clean fuel regulations create new demand for Canadian canola, noting canola prices are up this year, and that the government extended the suspension of the excise fuel tax to help families, truckers, farmers and fishers, which they said the Conservative leader voted against.Written by AI from the debate.
