REGINA: The Canadian Taxpayers Federation's (CTF) campaign to give motorists a break at the pump and share fuel tax revenues with municipalities is winning support in Saskatchewan.

The CTF has embarked on a cross-country tour, in a campaign decorated van, of forty communities to build support for lower gasoline taxes and its Municipal Roadway Trust -- a practical model for returning half of the federal gas tax revenues directly to municipalities.

The CTF is demanding Ottawa eliminate the 1.5 cent/litre deficit tax, remove the GST charged on the federal and provincial levies that total 19 to 30 cents per litre of gasoline to net another 1.5 cents in savings; and reduce the federal levy by an additional 2 cents. The CTF proposal would mean a five-cent reduction in gas prices at the pump.

The CTF proposal has won the support of the Mayors of North Battleford, Yorkton, and Melville.
