Bill C-38 received Royal Assent on October 29, extending the suspension of federal excise taxes on gasoline, diesel and aviation fuels through January 31, 2027. Rates will return at half their usual levels for February and March, then fully on April 1. Finance Canada estimates the extension adds $2.9 billion in relief; actual pump prices also depend on other factors.
