The province’s energy regulator is preparing to review a fuel charge to account for the cost of federal carbon regulations — even though the premier and finance minister have promised repeatedly to scrap the levy by the end of the year.
This week the adjuster was adding as much as 8.1 cents per litre to the price of gasoline in New Brunswick and nine cents to diesel.
During the provincial election campaign Premier Susan Holt promised to end the cost of the carbon adjuster, which allows the cost of clean fuel regulation to be passed down to the pumps.
She stalled on following through, after some retailers warned the change would put them out of business, but then said in September she would continue with the promise after all and end the charge by Dec.
