Ontario regulation 440/08 will come into effect January 1, 2011.
It will require every propane distributor in the province to obtain the services of a professional engineer to develop a risk and safety management plan.
This will in effect close down most small distributors who can't afford the cost of those services, which in turn, will put the price of your 20-pound tank of propane for your barbeque at around 50 to 60 dollars when refilling.
There will also be increases for those heating their homes with propane furnaces and for the many rural restaurants relying on propane for their kitchen equipment.
Remote tourist resorts that need propane for their daily operations and recreational campers with propane tanks on their trailers will be hit as well.
