BURLINGTON, ON
Fulfilling a promise from the Progressive Conservatives’ Feb. 27 re-election campaign, Premier Doug Ford and Finance Minister Peter Bethlenfalvy announced they will be cutting 5.7 cents a litre of the gas tax and eliminating tolls on the provincially operated part of the tollway.
As of June 1, the levies, which can be up to $20, will be lifted on the 43-kilometre portion of Highway 407 from Brock Road in Pickering east to Highway 35/115 north of Clarington, which will cost the treasury around $72 million annually.
Wonderful….thanks Doug
