## Resource

Conservatives are demanding the government scrap all federal fuel taxes for the rest of the year, including permanently killing the clean fuel standard, arguing it would save families $1,200 annually—calling the Liberals’ current pause a “half-measure.” Finance critic Jasraj Singh Hallan backs the move, while Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne defends existing measures, including last year’s carbon price cancellation, claiming they’ll cut prices by nearly 30 cents per litre—and urges the opposition to support them, as voters watch closely on fuel affordability.
