Poilievre calls for federal tax holiday on fuel as gas prices spike
Posted on: Apr 02, 2026 15:30 IST | Posted by: Cbc
conservativist Leader capital of south dakota Poilievre is calling on the regime to temporarily intermit union soldier taxes on gas and diesel for the remainder of the year.
Poilievre will hold a news conference at 8:30 a.m. ET Thursday to outline his suggestion, which would temporarily lift the GST and excise tax on diesel and gasoline.
The Conservative leader's proposal comes as the war in the Middle East has caused a spike in gas prices in Canada and around the world, generally.
Other countries, such as Australia and Ireland, have reduced taxes on fuel in response.
Poilievre made a similar call for a fuel tax holiday heading into the summer of 2024, after gas prices had spiked in parts of the country.
