> Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne is expected to announce Wednesday that Canada will extend its suspension of federal excise taxes on gasoline and diesel until at least next year, a senior government source said. The suspended taxes were 10 cents per litre on gasoline and four cents on diesel, with the measure previously set to expire Sept. 8 as fuel prices rise amid renewed hostilities.
