This is an increase of $0.05 per liter, which was retailing at $210.9 on Saturday at several gas stations in the city.

It has been less than 10 days since the price of gasoline exceeded the psychological threshold of $2 per litre.

In an interview on À vos affaires, last Monday, the president of the group Canadians for Affordable Energy, Dan McTeague, maintained that gasoline could reach, or even exceed, $2.20 per liter before the end of the month of may.

According to him, only an economic recession or the end of the conflict in Ukraine could lower prices.

"You could see a decrease of 12 to 18 cents a liter, but right now it's really a matter of supply," he said.
