Carney says he will temporarily suspend Canada’s fuel excise tax amid Iran war | FULL

From Global News.

The Liberal government will suspend the excise fuel tax on gasoline and diesel until Labour Day 2026, as the war in Iran sends energy costs surging, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney announced on Tuesday.

Carney said the tax break will start April 20 and is expected to save Canadians 10 cents per litre on regular gasoline and four cents per litre on diesel.

Speaking to reporters on Parliament Hill, Carney said suspending the excise tax is a "responsible, temporary measure" that offers "real relief" to Canadian families.

Carney also addressed questions about forming a majority government in the House of Commons after winning three byelections Monday.
