Prime Minister Carney Suspends Federal Fuel Excise Tax to Lower Gas and Diesel Costs for Canadians

  • Prime Minister Mark Carney announced a temporary suspension of the federal fuel excise tax on gasoline, diesel, and aviation fuels across Canada from April 20 to September 7, 2026.
  • The suspension is expected to lower gas prices by 10 cents per litre for regular gasoline and 4 cents for diesel.
  • The measure aims to provide immediate cost relief for Canadians and reduce operating costs for businesses in key sectors.
  • The government is also cutting taxes for 22 million Canadians, cancelling the consumer carbon tax, and expanding social programs.
  • These actions are part of a broader effort to build a more resilient, independent, and energy-secure Canadian economy.
