Nova Scotia Liberals accuse Tories of hiking gas prices (Metro)
The Liberals say the Conservative government has been deliberately setting higher gas prices to bring in more tax revenue, and they believe they have evidence to prove it. Gas prices in Nova Scotia are set on a weekly basis through regulation. Documents obtained through freedom of information requests by the Liberals show the Service Nova Scotia minister picks one price out of three options. In every case, the two options not picked are blacked out because they are deemed to be advice to the minister, which is exempt from freedom of information laws. Liberal Leader Stephen McNeil said the documents show the Tories were picking the more expensive option. "This government is clearly picking the highest option," he said. "If they weren't, why wouldn't they release it? Why would they hide information that would prove to Nova Scotians that they were giving them a deal?"
