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?
