Tories Hire Firm to Review Gas Pricing
The MacDonald government will spend $132,000 to hire the firm that first recommended gas regulations in the province to conduct a review of the government’s gas pricing regime.
Gardner Pinfold Consulting Economists will review gasoline and diesel fuel regulation in Nova Scotia and submit its report to government April 1, Service Nova Scotia and Municipal Affairs said Monday.
The review will examine factors that impact the policy goals of regulation, the stability of consumer prices, the support for gas stations, especially in rural areas, and the cost of regulation for consumers and government.
It will also assess the pricing model and recommend any improvements as part of assessing whether the policy is meeting objectives.
After review by government, it will be released to the public.
