Trudeau says gas price rise likely this year in Canada
Prime Minister Trudeau warned motorists to expect gasoline prices to rise about 2.75 cents a litre by year end, contingent on talks with producing provinces. He pledged oil price increases stay under 4.4 dollars per barrel with limited yearly steps, as Lalonde aims to keep prices below these benchmarks through 1984 amid subsidy cuts. Alberta demands a net-benefit level at least as strong as the prior Conservative deal.
