Starting today, April 20, the federal fuel excise tax on gasoline, diesel, and aviation fuel is temporarily suspended across Canada — putting money back in your pocket right away.
|
What This Means for You:
- Ten cents less per litre on regular gasoline
|
- Four cents less per litre on diesel
|
- Lower fuel costs to help bring down flight prices
|
This measure will be in place until Labour Day (September 7, 2026) — helping Canadians save throughout the busy summer months.
|
| For families and businesses across Edmonton Centre, this is real, immediate relief. Whether you’re commuting to work, running a business, or just managing your day-to-day, we are lowering costs and increasing our financial strength. |
| With summer around the corner, it couldn’t come at a better time. From road trips through the Rockies to visiting family across the country, or even booking that long-awaited flight, this means a little more flexibility to enjoy the season. |
| As the Prime Minister has stated — “We cannot control what other nations do. We’re focused on what we can control – building Canada strong for all.” Together, we are making everyday life more affordable while building a stronger, more resilient economy here at home. |
