Premier Susan Holt Questions Delay in Reducing Gas Prices

Premier Susan Holt expressed confusion as to why gas price regulators failed to recognize a method to lower consumer prices until late 2025, resulting in New Brunswickers overpaying for gas. After reviewing regulations, a staff member identified that switching to E10 gasoline in price calculations could reduce prices by 7.9 cents per litre. Despite the change, Holt acknowledged the difficulty in reimbursing consumers for previous overcharges and emphasized the need for future rate considerations. Opposition Leader Glen Savoie challenged Holt’s claims, suggesting the option was previously known but not acted upon.
