The Government of BC initiated an inquiry into gasoline pricing after gasoline prices hit record highs in BC. Parkland is the owner of the largest oil refinery in British Columbia, as well as the largest owner of gas stations, mostly branded as Chevron.
The inquiry spanned 5 months, and included many of the large oil and gas companies in Canada involved in refining and retail. There were a number of hearing days, both confidentially and in public.
The hearing was heavily scrutinized by the Canadian media. It has resulted in legislation being introduced to expand oversight into gasoline and diesel prices.
Fasken acted for Parkland Fuel Corporation with a team led by Matthew Ghikas and included Tariq Ahmed.
