Get Used to Higher Gas Prices in Ottawa

PM Stephen Harper quashed speculation that his spring budget might offer consumers targeted tax relief from soaring fuel prices, saying only that motorists would get a break on gas costs when the Conservatives trim the GST.

He also warned that Canadians are going to have to learn to live with sticker shock at the gas pump.

"I think that the truth of the matter is that higher gas prices -- that's going to be something that we're going to have to get used to," Mr. Harper told.
