During question period in the House of Commons on Monday, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre asked the Liberals whether they’d accept axing taxes on fuel ahead of their Nov. 5 tabling of the federal budget.

“The fastest way to save Canadians money is to get rid of all taxes on gas. Get rid of the clean so-called fuel standard tax, the GST on gas and diesel, and get rid of the excise tax until Canada Day. Mr. Speaker, will the Prime Minister accept our idea to save Canadians money by axing taxes on gas,” Poilievre said.

Environment Minister Julie Dabrusin shot back, saying; “The member opposite represents the second largest canola producing riding in Alberta, has a canola crusher in his riding and is right adjacent to Imperial Strathcona, that actually produces biodiesel, supported by the Clean Fuel Regulations. This is good for canola farmers across our country. It is good for his own constituents, and I would hope that he would stand up with him.”
