During the April 13 to May 8, 2026 sitting block, the House of Commons addressed oil and gas policy through a vote on an opposition motion concerning fuel taxes. The motion, which was defeated, reflected ongoing partisan divisions over the federal approach to energy affordability and taxation. Debate centered on the impact of federal fuel taxes on consumers and regional economies, with particular attention to concerns raised by MPs from energy-producing provinces such as Alberta and Saskatchewan. The outcome reaffirmed the government’s current stance on maintaining existing fuel tax frameworks despite opposition calls for relief.
Opposition Motion (Fuel taxes)
DIV-95 was an opposition motion introduced by the Conservative Party calling for the federal government to suspend the carbon tax on fuel. The motion was framed as a response to concerns about affordability and the cost of living, particularly in provinces where the federal carbon pricing backstop applies. Its defeat reflects the Liberal government's continued commitment to carbon pricing as a central element of its climate policy, despite ongoing criticism from opposition parties and some provincial governments.
