Gas prices rise as levy to fund oil imports imposed
Ottawa reports a new half cent per litre levy on all oil products to cover imports after Alberta cuts 100 000 barrels a day in production. The levy could rise to 1 ½ cents if Alberta deepens cuts in June and September, with wellhead price increases already adding about 0 8 cents per litre. Consumers face roughly 1 3 cents more per litre this week.

Agriculture Minister Whelan announced a bill to create Canagrex to expand and coordinate farm product exports. Critics like Rick Dobranski of Allstate Grain warn a government agency could hinder an already strong specialty crop sector.
