The impact of the federal carbon tax will soon be included on your natural gas bill.
The Ontario Energy Board is allowing Enbridge Gas to start collecting the federal carbon charge next month.
It will appear as a separate line item as a charge of under 4 cents for every cubic metres of gas used.
Enbridge, which recently merged with Union Gas, estimates the average homeowner in northwestern Ontario to pay 86 dollars over a year.
The gas company collects the tax and forwards it directly to the federal government.
