The province has maintained its own cap-and-trade carbon pricing system, which adds about 10 cents per litre to the price of gasoline.
Statistics Canada said this morning that lower gas prices drove inflation down across all provinces except Quebec.
The new survey also says 55 per cent of Quebecers support building a pipeline across the province to transport oil or gas from Western Canada to international markets.
Quebec Premier François Legault has said there’s more openness to pipelines in the province since U.S. President Donald Trump began his tariff war.
