Biographical history
During the Territorial Government's Yukon 2000 public meetings, communities, industry associations and members of the general public made representations indicating that the high price of petroleum products was a major impediment to economic development in the Territory. As a result, Marvin Shaffer & Associates Ltd. were contracted to conduct a preliminary study into fuel prices in the Yukon. One of the recommendations of the Shaffer Report was the establishment of an independent and public inquiry into fuel prices. In January 1988, the Government established an independent board of inquiry headed by Judge Heino Lilles to investigate factors affecting the prices of petroleum products in the Yukon. The main focus of the Board's mandate was to investigate factors contributing to the setting of retail prices for motor and home-heating fuel products in the Territory. It confined its scope to matters clearly affecting the supply, distribution and pricing of petroleum fuel products in the Yukon. The findings and recommendations of the Board were published in the report Public Inquiry Into Petroleum Fuel Pricing In The Yukon Territory.
