July 25, 1997 The following is being distributed at the request of Dennis M. Browne, Q.C.: Call for Submissions issued for the study on Gasoline Prices Dennis M. Browne, Q.C., has issued a call for submissions for the Study on Gasoline Prices. Any interested individuals or groups who wish to make a submission, orally or written, should contact Dennis M. Browne to indicate their intention to make a submission. The submission would be part of a study set up by the provincial government to examine the reasons for the differences in the price of gasoline in various parts of the province and whether regulation of gas prices would be in the public's best interest. Browne said: "We have been given a mandate by the provincial government to consult with the public. As part of the consultation process, we are inviting any interested individual, or group, wishing to be heard on these issues to indicate their intention to make a submission. The concerns of the public must be heard and by providing an opportunity for the public to forward information and viewpoints on these issues we hope to address these concerns." Mr. Browne has also contacted industry representatives informing them of his mandate and inviting them to cooperate in the study.
