I think this is a very interesting question.</p>\n<p>The Competition Bureau and the Conference Board through their many studies have shown that, up until this recent crisis, the surges in prices virtually followed crude oil prices exactly, so there was no collusion or attempts to fix prices.</p>\n<p>In this last crisis crude oil prices did not change that much and there was still a dramatic increase that we had. I have two questions related to the price increase.</p>\n<p>First, at the industry committee the member for Tobique\u2014Mactaquac showed that 40\u00a2 of the 50\u00a2 increase was related to the refinery level, even though it did not cost any more to refine gas. Second, there were suggestions that speculation of coming shortages caused by hurricanes could have caused that. Can the member provide Canadians any insight in those two areas?</p>",
