Carbon charge shock

Dear Editor:

Anyone who uses natural gas for heating or hot water heating will see disturbing changes in your bills spring and summer months. 

Your gas supply charge will be less than the federal carbon charge thanks to Justin Trudeau’s government.

As of April 1, the carbon charge was 15.3 cents per cubic metre, while the gas supply charge was 11.2 cents per cubic meter. 

If you do the math and price of gas does not increase very much, then from now on the carbon charge will be the biggest cost on your gas bill.

Something to think about.

Paul Roberts,
