CPA Member Hosts MPP Matthew Rae to Discuss Key Propane Industry Priorities

Red Cap Propane, a proud member of the Canadian Propane Association (CPA), recently hosted our local Member of Parliament (MPP), Matthew Rae, for a productive meeting. The discussion centered around key CPA priorities, including:

  • Advocating for an off-oil program
  • The removal of the 4.3-cent-per-litre fuel tax on auto propane
  • Supporting the development of biofuels in Canada

As part of the visit, MPP Rae actively participated in propane deliveries, showcasing his engagement with the community and the vital role propane plays in Ontario’s energy landscape. Propane has become an essential primary energy source for the province, particularly in rural areas, now powering over 200,000 households – a threefold increase since 2018.

The CPA extends its gratitude to Patrick McLean and the team at Red Cap Propane for their hospitality and commitment to advancing the propane industry by engaging with local policymakers.

The CPA encourages all members to connect with their government representatives, whether through office meetings or facility tours. Building relationships with local politicians is essential for advocacy efforts. For more information on engaging with government representatives, please consult the CPA Advocacy Toolkit, available online under the “Advocacy and CPA Government Submissions” section.
