Public Safety Minister Mike Farnworth said the 30-litre limit per visit to the pumps proved effective and will lift on Tuesday. Gas and diesel rationing took effect Nov. 19 for drivers in the Lower Mainland, Vancouver Island and other southern B.C. locations in order to ensure there was enough fuel for essential traffic, such as emergency vehicles and supply chain transport. Transportation Minister Rob Fleming heralded the work of crews who have "defied the odds" in their progress on the Coquihalla Highway. Fleming visited work sites along the highway on Friday with federal Transport Minister Omar Alghabra and described the damage as "unfathomable."
