魁北克省取消了燃料价格底线,目的是降低成本,但专家们怀疑其有效性。 Quebec removes fuel price floor, aiming to lower costs, but experts doubt its effectiveness.

魁北克经济部长Christine Fréchette宣布该省将撤回汽油和其他燃料的底价, Christine Fréchette, Quebec's Economy Minister, announced the province will withdraw its floor price on gasoline and other fuels, a measure in place since the 1990s. 此举的目的是刺激竞争和可能降低价格,但专家们认为这一变化基本上是象征性的,不可能降低泵的成本。 The move aims to boost competition and potentially lower prices, but experts argue this change is largely symbolic and unlikely to reduce costs at the pump. 大多数加油站的收费已经高于最低价格,取消底价可能导致价格战争,可能损害小零售商,长期推高价格。 Most gas stations already charge higher than the minimum price, and the removal of the floor price could lead to price wars, potentially harming smaller retailers and pushing prices up in the long run.
