3. Available Information

3.1 What type of information will the Office of Petroleum Price Information gather?

The Office of Petroleum Price Information will provide Canadians with current information on crude oil and petroleum product prices and single-window access to consumer information and relevant government programs in areas such as energy efficiency and rebates. All of this information will help Canadians to make decisions about their energy choices and usage.
 

3.2 How will the Office of Petroleum Price Information gather its information?

In a collaborative effort with the provinces and territories, the Office will build on information already being gathered to ensure data consistency at a national level.
 
Many provinces already have information Web sites on fuel prices and energy saving ideas. The Province of Ontario's Ministry of Energy and Nova Scotia's Department of Energy Web sites are two examples of provincial governments taking a proactive role in getting information to Canadians on fuel prices and energy saving tools. The work being done by provincial governments will complement the efforts of the Office of Petroleum Price Information in getting the most current information out to Canadians.
 

3.3 How will the Office of Petroleum Price Information fill any information gaps?

When any information gaps are identified, the Office will conduct new federal surveys to complement any existing provincial and private-sector activities. The Office will ask industry to volunteer information.
