Mr. Speaker, the four-point plan before the House today is the following: to remove the fuel excise tax, which is adding 10¢ a litre, for the remainder of 2026; to remove the GST on gas and diesel, which is eight cents a litre, for the remainder of 2026; to permanently remove the clean fuel standard, which is seven cents a litre; and to permanently remove the industrial carbon tax.
If we look around the world at many of our allies, Australia has cut fuel and diesel taxes in half for three months. Germany announced $1.9 billion in fuel price relief. Ireland has cut its excise tax duty by 10¢ per litre. Spain, Italy, Austria and Portugal have all moved on this, but Canada, a country that produces its own oil, has done the least of all of them.
It is time for the Prime Minister to listen to Canadians and support our plan to leave more money in the pockets of people and make life more affordable back home. He took the first step in our Conservative plan this morning. The House can do the rest now.
