At a Nov. 13 news conference in Etobicoke outside a Circle K gas station, Ontario Premier Doug Ford announced that the fall economic statement to be delivered tomorrow will propose legislation to extend the province’s tax cut on gas for another year, until Dec. 31, 2023.
Legislation passed in April had dropped the gas tax rate by 5.7 cents per litre and the fuel tax rate by 5.3 cents per litre for six months, from July 1 to Dec. 31, reducing both tax rates to 9 cents per litre.
