Taxation

During question period on taxation, Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre asked the government to remove its taxes on gas and diesel, saying Canadians cannot afford food, heat, or housing and that a fuel-related tax adds about 20 cents a litre to gas prices, with some of that money going to support American biofuel producers, which he said hurts single mothers, seniors, and small businesses. Liberal ministers responded that the government is supporting Canadians facing higher costs from foreign wars and trade conflicts, noted that a budget would be tabled the next day, said the Conservatives vote against the government’s affordability measures, and pointed to heat pump rebates they said save households over $1,000 a year. They also said a large energy facility near the Conservative leader’s riding benefits from the government’s clean fuel rules.Written by AI from the debate. Updated .
