Premier John Horgan says the B.C. government will consider "some relief" for those who can't afford record high gas prices.
Horgan says the provincial government will monitor prices through the summer and if there's an opportunity to step in and help, it will do so.
"But at this point, I'm hopeful there will be some correlation between the commodity price and retail price. Those are issues that are market driven and out of my control," Horgan says.
