Today in Surrey I committed to cutting gas prices by up to 30 cents a litre.

When Trump started his war with Iran, big oil companies used it as cover. They padded their margins by 20 cents a litre at B.C. pumps, took an estimated $865 million out of British Columbians' pockets, and doubled their profits to $13.3 billion in a single quarter.
So here's my plan. We'll suspend 10 cents a litre of the provincial gas tax, and bring in a price guard so the BC Utilities Commission can cap what oil companies charge. That's savings of up to $20 every time you fill up, and up to $100 every month for a two-car family.
See what you'd save: bcndp.ca/gas The conservative parties won't stand up to big oil. I will. That's how we build B.C. strong.
Standing up to big oil? OK, put our money where your mouth is: tax fossil fuel companies to recover the tax money you're cutting at the pump. Make THEM pay for it with their huge profits. That tax revenue is needed to pay for social services, so make the fossil fuel companies pay it.
