Our new branding gives us the opportunity to increase our marketing efforts to promote propane and the many roles it plays in the lives of Canadians. We are very pleased to announce our new partnership with HGTV Canada and more specifically, its hit series Rock Solid Builds, currently one of the most-watched home improvement shows on the network.
On August 6, the CPA filed its prebudget submission to the House of Commons Finance Committee. Each year, the Finance Committee makes recommendations to the Minister of Finance based on submissions they receive from stakeholders such as industry groups, as well the general public.
