Conservatives defend their math on proposed fuel tax holiday
CBC
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre's call for a summer gas tax holiday became a topic of heated debate in the House of Commons this week, with the Conservatives and Liberals arguing over how much the proposal would actually save Canadian families.
After the Liberals and some experts questioned how much the Conservative proposal would really save Canadians, the Tories shared their math with CBC News. But academics and at least one gas price analyst are still questioning how realistic those estimates are.
In May, Poilievre said the federal government should give Canadians a break on various federal fuel levies on diesel and gasoline between Victoria Day and Labour Day.
