'Delayed reaction'
Dan McTeague, founder of Canadians for Affordable Energy, says he knew an increase was on the way for the region.
“It’s delayed reaction to regulatory pricing,” he says. “The rest of the country had seen an increase in the average of about seven or eight cents litre last week.”
“It looks like we’re probably going to see about a three per cent decrease, next week, or at least we should, given that the markets have now decided to retreat.”
