Clayton Deans
Seconded
by
Lou Madonna
RESOLVED
that the Council of the Township of Prince endorse the following resolution of
the Town of Keewatin:
WHEREAS
a strong disparity in gasoline prices has long existed between Northern Ontario
and Southern Ontario, and more recently evidenced between the Tri-Municipalities
of Keewatin, Kenora and Jaffray Melick and other Towns in Northwestern Ontario;

AND
WHEREAS the gasoline supplied to the Tri-Municipal area comes from the same
refinery and is delivered on the same truck over the same highways to other
communities where gas prices can be as much as 16 cents per litre lower;
AND
WHEREAS since prices are neither set nor controlled at the retailer level, it is
the refinery marketer level being the major oil companies who are setting pump
prices thereby disregarding competition in the gas industry
AND
WHEREAS this area has seen little or no savings at the gas pumps, even though
crude oil prices have fallen more than 40% over the past year
AND
WHEREAS the Provincial Government has repeatedly stated to the residents of the
Tri-Town area that Northwestern Ontario would be treated fairly and equitably
NOW

investigation into the fairness of fuel pricing in Northwestern Ontario; to
regulate gas prices; and to pursue enabling legislation that will equalize gas
prices across the province.
