Federal Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs Dominic LeBlanc says that Ottawa is aware of affordability “concerns” surrounding the Liberal government’s recently introduced Clean Fuel Regulations (CFR) and that the government is seeking ways to address them.

“We did hear from the premiers but we also hear from Atlantic Canadians [about] concerns around affordability,” Mr. LeBlanc told reporters during a press conference in Moncton, New Brunswick, on July 18, following a meeting of the Atlantic Growth Strategy Leadership Committee.
