The Ontario government says it will introduce legislation to cut gas and fuel taxes for six months in an effort to provide relief for businesses and families in the province.
The province announced on Monday morning the planned legislation, if passed, would cut the gas tax in Ontario by 5.7 cents per litre and the fuel tax by 5.3 cents per litre for six months starting July 1.
“With these added pressures, families and businesses need extra help to keep costs low. That is why our government is bringing forward legislation to provide tax relief at the pumps.” Soaring gas prices in the province have prompted some to call on Ford to fulfill his election promise to further cut the gas tax and provide some relief to motorists.
