OTTAWA — The federal government introduced its promised bill to extend the federal gas tax pause for several more months.
Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne introduced the legislation on Monday.
The bill is up for the first significant debate today and Champagne says the measure will help farmers, families and truckers.
The Liberals temporarily suspended the federal 10-cent-per-litre excise tax on April 14 after the U.S. war on Iran caused global fuel prices to spike.
