With
oil prices skyrocketing once again, Claude Béchard, Quebec's Minister of Natural Resources and Wildlife, wants to resume talks on his transparency project. CAA-Quebec said it's ready to work with the ministry. The organization represents some 935,000 consumers across the province. CAA-Quebec is willing to collaborate with the various political parties, whether they're part of the government or the opposition, to resurrect the opinions expressed last December during a special parliamentary commission. Sophie Gagnon, Director of Government and Public Relations, told members of the Parliament that the expertise developed by CAA-Quebec and
Info-Essence could prove very useful. The organization is supporting the Quebec government with Bill 41, which aims to foster transparency in the sale of gasoline and diesel fuel.For CAA-Quebec and the Charest administration, the proposed law will allow consumers to pay a fair price for gasoline and diesel based on the actual market value.
