Gasoline Pricing May 28th, 1999
Mr. Speaker, constituents of mine are contacting me to complain about gasoline prices and their wild fluctuations in our region.
Earlier this month, the people of Ottawa went to bed with gasoline retailing at 46.9 cents a litre. The next morning when they woke up pretty well every station was retailing gasoline at 57.9 cents a litre, an increase of 11 cents overnight.
Good morning, Ottawa, compliments of your favourite retail or wholesale gas company.
What on earth could possibly happen during the night to cause all gasoline retailers in this region to increase overnight their prices in the same amounts? With examples such as this one, how can one not think that they are on the losing end of unsavoury practices?
My constituents and I would be curious to hear the explanations of the gasoline retailers or the large gasoline companies. How do they explain these overnight massive increases?
