Regulated Atlantic fuel market means profits being pinched, group says

In a letter addressed to the federal finance and innovation ministers, the Convenience Industry Council of Canada said the increase in fees businesses have to pay on the higher price of fuel is significantly eating into their gross profits.

“It’s a real crisis situation in Atlantic Canada,” the group’s chief executive, Anne Kothawala, said in an interview. Jennifer Stewart, chief executive of the Canadian Energy Marketers Association, said “it’s not an advantageous situation to be in” for those regulated businesses.
