whereas the Nova Scotia Utility and Review (“Board”) considered the manner in which it would proceed to set petroleum prices in its decision, 2006 NSUARB 108, issued on October 16, 2006; And

whereas the average of the average of the daily high and low report product prices (in Canadian cents) for the week ended September 30, 2009, are: Grade 1 Regular gasoline 48.2¢ per litre Ultra-low-sulfur diesel oil 50.1¢ per litre And

whereas the Board has determined, based on historical data regarding price changes and to achieve revenue neutrality, it is appropriate to apply forward averaging corrections of:
