Carney Liberals secure majority government

Prime Minister Mark Carney's Liberal Party has secured a majority government in the Canadian House of Commons after sweeping three key federal byelections.

The victory allows Carney to advance his legislative agenda on affordability and energy security without the need for support from opposition parties.

Following the results, Carney immediately announced a temporary suspension of the federal fuel excise tax to provide relief to families struggling with rising energy costs.

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has criticized the new majority as the result of 'backroom deals' and vowed to continue opposing the government's fiscal policies.
