Here’s the latest on Ottawa suspending the federal fuel tax.
- Ottawa announced a temporary suspension of the federal excise tax on gasoline and diesel from April 20 to September 7, 2026. This measure is designed to reduce pump prices during a period of rising costs.[1][2][3]
- The expected impact cited by authorities is a reduction of about 10 cents per liter for regular gasoline and about 4 cents per liter for diesel. The relief is described as short-term and contingent on ongoing market conditions.[3][1]
- Coverage from multiple outlets confirms the policy’s timeframe and its aim to ease cost pressures for consumers and transport sectors during the identified period.[4][5]
If you’d like, I can compile a concise snapshot with dates, expected price impacts, and the official rationale, or pull the direct statements from Radio-Canada or TVA Nouvelles for exact wording.
