新不伦瑞克因供应顾虑而取消了天然气价格削减, New Brunswick canceled gas price cuts due to supply concerns, defying Premier Holt’s promise to reduce fuel costs.

新不伦瑞克能源和公用事业委员会已取消2025年12月1日设定的天然气价格削减计划, 尽管总理苏珊·霍尔特(Susan Holt)在选举中承诺取消部分联邦燃料碳调整税。 The New Brunswick Energy and Utilities Board has canceled planned gas price cuts set for December 1, 2025, despite Premier Susan Holt’s election promise to eliminate part of the federal carbon adjuster tax on fuel. 该税于2022年实行,将清洁燃料监管费用转嫁给消费者。 The tax, introduced in 2022, passes clean fuel regulation costs to consumers. 董事会说,将其删除可能会损害燃料供应商并破坏供应稳定。 The board said removing it could harm fuel suppliers and disrupt supply stability. Holt批评这一决定,称这是降低生活费用努力的一个挫折,尽管董事会坚持其作用是确保消费者尽可能最低的价格。 Holt criticized the decision, calling it a setback for efforts to reduce living costs, though the board maintains its role is to ensure the lowest possible prices for consumers.
