Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is calling on the federal government to remove all taxes on gasoline and diesel for the remainder of the year amid rising fuel prices due to the war in Iran.
Poilievre said during a press conference in Ottawa on April 2 that temporarily removing the GST and excise tax would save Canadians 25 cents per litre, amounting to about $1,200 a year for the average family of four.
