Written Question 4-15(6): Consumer Protection On Gas Prices

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Finance.

During the winter road closure and in the absence of ferry service, automotive and home heating oil prices in Yellowknife have continued to rise without re-supply.

Please provide examples of past and current instances where the government has intervened on behalf of the consumer in order to prevent price gouging of fuel costs and please provide a detailed list of the legislation used to do so.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
