Part II - Regulations Vol. 45, No. 23 N.S. Reg. 128/2021 Made: October 13, 2021 Filed: October 18, 2021 Polling Districts Order: Municipality of the County of Cumberland Order dated October 13, 2021 made by the Nova Scotia Utility and Review Board pursuant to

Section 368 of the Municipal Government Act Amending Order M09530 Nova Scotia Utility and Review Board In the Matter of the Municipal Government Act - and - In the matter of an application by the Municipality of the County of Cumberland to reduce the number of councillors and polling districts and to set the new boundaries of the polling districts Before: Roland A. Deveau, Q.C., Vice Chair Roberta J. Clarke, Q.C., Member Stephen T.

McGrath, LL.B., Member Amending Order The Board issued a Decision and an Order on April 16, 2020, respecting an application by the Municipality of the County of Cumberland pursuant to s. 368 of the Municipal Government Act, setting the number of polling districts and councillors at eight and approving the boundaries of the polling districts as outlined on the digital maps attached to the Order.

In a letter dated February 3, 2021, the solicitor for the Department of Municipal Affairs and Housing advised the Board that from its review of the polling district maps approved by the Board in its Order, an area on the border of District 7 and District 8 described as Franklin Manor 22 did not clearly fall into either district. The Board understands this area is a Mi’kmaq reserve which is uninhabited.

The Board, noting that this area was not specifically canvassed during the prior hearing, wrote to the Municipality on March 17, 2020, requesting that it provide revised versions of the district maps confirming the location of Franklin Manor 22, which could be reflected in an Amended Order issued by the Board rectifying the matter. In a letter received by the Board on September 14, 2021, the Municipality applied to “correct an inadvertent mapping error” in its original application and filed revised polling district maps for District 7 and District 8 confirming that Franklin Manor 22 is in District 7.

The Board orders that: 1. The boundaries of Polling Districts 7 and 8 are amended as outlined on the digital maps attached to this Order; and 2. In all other respects the Order issued by the Board on April 16, 2020, remains in full force and effect. © NS Office of the Registrar of Regulations. Web version. 334

Part II - Regulations Vol. 45, No. 23 N.S. Reg. 129/2021 Made: October 14, 2021 Filed: October 18, 2021 Prescribed Petroleum Products Prices Order dated October 14, 2021 made by the Nova Scotia Utility and Review Board pursuant to

Section 14 of the Petroleum Products Pricing Act and Sections 16 to 19 of the Petroleum Products Pricing Regulations Order In the matter of the Petroleum Products Pricing Act M10289 - and - In the matter of prescribing prices for petroleum products pursuant to

Section 14 of the Petroleum Products Pricing Act and Sections 16 to 19 of the Petroleum Products Pricing Regulations Before: Steven Murphy, MBA, P.Eng., Member

Whereas the purpose of the Petroleum Products Pricing Regulations is to ensure just and reasonable prices for specified petroleum products taking into consideration the objectives of preserving the availability of such products in rural areas, stabilizing prices of such products and minimizing the variances in prices of such products across the Province; And

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

whereas the Board revised the wholesale margin effective January 4, 2013, in its decision, 2012 NSUARB 213, issued on December 12, 2012; And

whereas on December 30, 2020, the Board issued an interim order in Matter M09952 increasing the wholesale margin for self-service and full-service gasoline and diesel, on an interim basis, by 2.50 cents per litre (cpl) to a total of 9.15 cpl; And

whereas the Board revised the retail markup and the transportation allowance effective October 28, 2016, in its decision, 2016 NSUARB 168, issued on September 26, 2016, and on February 1, 2021, the Board issued an order in Matter M09727 approving an increase to the minimum self-service and full-service retail markup by 0.3 cpl and to the maximum self-service retail markup by 0.4 cpl, to a total for the minimum of 5.4 cpl, and for the maximum of 7.4 cpl; And

whereas in a decision dated April 15, 2021, in Matter 09727 (2021 NSUARB 50), the Board directed a process to consider a retail markup adjustment mechanism, applied monthly, to address ongoing Covid-19- related reduced sales volumes to ensure just and reasonable prices for petroleum products pending recovery from the pandemic, and on June 2, 2021, the Board issued an order approving the methodology for the monthly adjustment mechanism; And

whereas the average of the average of the daily high and low reported product prices (in Canadian cents) for the period ended October 13, 2021, are: Grade 1 Regular gasoline 81.03¢ per litre Ultra-low-sulfur diesel oil 82.79¢ per litre

Now therefore the Board prescribes the benchmark prices for petroleum products to be: © NS Office of the Registrar of Regulations. Web version. 337

now therefore the Board has determined, based on historical data regarding price changes and to achieve revenue neutrality, it is appropriate to apply, and the Board so orders, forward averaging corrections of: Gasoline: plus 1.20¢ per litre Ultra-low-sulfur diesel oil: plus 2.00¢ per litre And

now therefore the Board orders that a monthly adjustment to the retail markup is required to account for the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on current sales volumes, as follows: Gasoline: minimum self service and full-service: plus 0.50¢ per litre maximum self-service: plus 0.70¢ per litre Ultra-low-sulfur diesel oil: minimum self service and full-service: plus 0.10¢ per litre maximum self-service: plus 0.20¢ per litre And

whereas a winter blending adjustment of plus 2.20¢ per litre is required for ultra-low-sulfur diesel oil; And

now therefore the Board prescribes the prices for petroleum products as set forth in
