The Province of Ontario wants to temporarily reduce gas and fuel taxes.
Doug Ford and his cabinet has tabled legislation to reduce gas tax by 5.7 cents/litre and fuel tax reduced by 5.3 cents/litre for six months starting on July 1, 2022.
Since the start of the Russian/Ukrainian conflict, the cost of gas has gone up across the country. Notably in Northwestern Ontario gas has been hovering close to the $2/L mark with reductions only seen as of late.
As of April 1, 2022 the federal carbon tax was increased 11.05 cents/litre for gasoline and 13.41 cents/litre for diesel. The Ford government has called on the Feds to cut these these increases.
