"Carney signalled that affordability and the economy would remain his central priorities. He added that voters had placed their trust in his government."
"The move, Carney explained, is expected to cut petrol prices by about 10 cents Canadian and diesel costs by four cents."
"With a majority now secured, that reliance is expected to end. He will be able to pass legislation without having to go to the opposition."
"Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre, however, criticised the Liberal Party for securing its majority not through voter support but rather through by-elections."
The Liberals now hold 174 seats in Canada's 343-seat House of Commons after winning three key by-elections. Prime Minister Mark Carney's government can advance its agenda without needing opposition support. Carney emphasized that affordability and the economy are central priorities. He announced a suspension of the federal fuel excise tax to help consumers cope with rising prices. This majority allows the Liberals to pass legislation independently, ending reliance on Conservative support for economic and trade-related measures.
