According to a Toronto Star article Canadians can expect to pay more at the pump as Russia’s attack on Ukraine puts even greater pressure on an already surging oil price environment as high demand meets a supply shortage.
Meanwhile, on March 2, a private member's bill by the NDP on gas price regulation, Bill 91, passed first reading at Queen's Park.
"They have tried to get passed on two previous occasions, saying it would prevent "gouging" at the pumps," according to a Canadian Press article published in the Toronto Star.
If the bill were to pass the Ontario Energy Board would be able to control the retail price and wholesale markup on petroleum products.
Energy Minister Todd Smith, however, said the plan would not work and it is up to the feds to lower gas prices by cancelling an upcoming carbon tax increase.
