Poilievre urges Carney to keep fuel excise tax suspended until Canada Day

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is reiterating his call for Prime Minister Mark Carney to extend a pause on Canada’s fuel excise tax, which is set to return on Labour Day.

Ottawa temporarily removed the tax from retail gas sales in April, a measure that will expire on Sept. 7. In a letter to Carney on Sunday, Poilievre argued the tax should remain paused until at least Canada Day 2027.
