Carney and Co are lowering gas/diesel taxes:
The move means that the cost of gas will drop by 10 cents on a litre of gasoline and four cents per litre of diesel starting on Monday and lasting until Labour Day. The fuel tax holiday, which Carney said would also see the four cent per litre excise tax removed on aviation fuel, is expected to cost an estimated $2.4 billion.
One of the aims is to improve the affordability hit we’re taking because of the US/Israel war with Iraq.
Does the tax holiday make sense to you? Could it be done better?
Thanks! At the moment it seems like a short term problem that needs short term solutions.
