What happened
The government introduced new bills into Parliament, including Bill C-39, the Building Canada Strong Act, which aims to diversify trade and expedite project approvals. Separately, record fuel price hikes prompted calls from various groups for the government to intervene by cutting fuel and Road Accident Fund levies to soften the impact on households.

Why it matters
Critics argue that Bill C-39 could enable the federal government to designate deregulation zones and pre-approve pipelines without full risk assessment, potentially increasing environmental harm. Meanwhile, the sharp increase in fuel costs is contributing to higher cost of living pressures across the economy.
Legislation impacting energy policy was introduced by the government and Parliament on July 1, 2026.
