We’re providing Canadian flags to constituents
We are almost there! Spring is in bloom, the weather is getting warmer, and summer is just around the corner. With that, I am pleased to share some of the work your federal government is doing to support Canadians and strengthen our community.
Fuel Relief is Here
Canada’s federal government has suspended the full amount of the tax on gasoline and diesel until September 7. This is expected to lower costs at the pump by approximately 10 cents per litre for regular gasoline and 4 cents per litre for diesel. The government is also temporarily suspending the federal Fuel Excise Tax on aviation fuels. These measures are intended to provide timely relief and help make travel more affordable for Canadians.
Expanded Student Support
Post-secondary education is one of the most important investments we can make in our future, opening doors to new opportunities and equipping Canadians with the skills they need to succeed. That is why the federal government is continuing to make education more affordable by extending temporary increases to Canada Student Financial Assistance grants and loans for the 2026–27 academic year.
This support includes:
- A 40 percent increase to non-repayable grants for full-time and part-time students, including students with disabilities and students with dependants.
- Higher weekly loan limits, increasing from $210 to $300 per week of study to better reflect rising education costs.
These measures are part of a continued effort to help ease financial pressures on students and families, ensuring more Canadians can pursue post-secondary education with greater confidence and support.
Canada Day!
As Canada Day approaches, our office will once again be providing Canada flags to constituents. If you would like one, please contact our office to arrange pickup before the end of June.
