Eco Fees Lifted, But...


Ontario residents may not be paying the controversial eco fee at the cash register, but they're still on the hook for the program.

Environment Minister John Gerretsen lifted the fees yesterday, but says the government will fork over up to five-million dollars to keep the program going for the next three months.

He says the government will take that time to come up with a better plan to offset the cost of recycling potentially hazardous items.
