Advocacy News
As was outlined at the CPA Leadership Summit held in Ottawa last June, the CPA is examining possible opportunities for creating partnerships with Indigenous and remote communities that would see both environmental and economic benefits. The association is looking at developing a pilot project that demonstrates the propane advantage and creates partnerships between Indigenous communities and the propane industry that result in low-emission propane replacing diesel and heating oil for home energy.

While the CPA believes that the intent of the Ontario government is to provide Ontarians with real energy choices, allowing natural gas utilities to subsidize expansion through taxing existing customers is not a fair market-based approach. Pursuing this course of action amounts to supporting a corporate subsidy that will increase costs in the long run and ultimately will not be financed by private money but rather by Ontario’s natural gas customers.
