Liberal leader Andrew Wilkinson says summer will be over by the time Premier John Horgan’s gas price review is done, leaving drivers to pay the price.
“He has promised action for a year and is delaying once again,” said Wilkinson, the Opposition Leader, on Twitter.
The premier has asked the B.C. Utilities Commission to investigate what is driving high, volatile fuel prices across the province.
The probe — which has to be done by the end of August — will look into whether price fixing and gouging are behind the high cost at the pump, as well as examining the differences in refining margins between B.C. and the rest of the country.
