Alberta won’t consider matching Ottawa’s summer…


Alberta won’t consider following the federal government in pausing fuel taxes for the summer until after the province’s next scheduled review period begins.

Ottawa is set to suspend the federal fuel excise tax next week, as part of a summer affordability measure.

“This will remove up to $0.10 per liter on gasoline and $0.04 per liter on diesel fuel,” Prime Minister Mark Carney said, adding Ottawa is also pausing the fuel excise tax on aviation fuels.

The suspension is largely due to the ongoing U.S.-Iran war, with movement of shipments along the Strait of Hormuz have mostly been stalled.

It will start on April 20 and last until Sept. 7.
