Pump Shock

Pump Shock

High gas prices got you feeling down?

The NDP has a positive, practical plan to help --

Gas price regulation – for fair, stable predictable prices at the pump.

The NDP stands up for consumers. We believe in strong, effective consumer protection – safeguards only the province can provide – to make sure no big business can swindle, cheat or rip off hard-working ordinary folks.

Dalton McGuinty promised positive change. Instead of progress, we’re seeing the same old approach – governments letting Big Oil companies get away with highway robbery.

Gas price regulation is a fresh idea that will make a real difference for drivers. It will stop gas price volatility, eliminate opportunistic price gouging and deliver fair, stable and predictable fuel prices – and lower gas prices over the long haul.

NDP MPP Gilles Bisson wants to know why Dalton McGuinty continues to allow big oil companies to gouge Ontario drivers.

“Hurricane Ike is no excuse for a 13-cent overnight gas hike. Ontario drivers know there is something wrong when they are forced to pay huge price increases. It’s about time the premier stood up for drivers, and did something to stop these gas-price rip-offs,” said Bisson, who serves as the NDP’s Transportation Critic.
