British Columbia drivers looked to the gas pumps Tuesday for a sign of tax relief after the early-morning approval of legislation that ended the province’s consumer carbon tax after 17 years.

The NDP government fast-tracked the bill in an effort to kill off the tax in time to coincide with the demise of the federal version of the levy on April 1, though it was around 1:30 a.m. Tuesday before it finally passed third reading in the legislature.
