Definitely additional tax. I suggest it because if the anticipation is that gas stays relatively low-priced for the short to medium term, a bump up in gas prices wouldn't be a total shock to the system.
A similar idea is like how GST was 7% only a few years ago, and it got bumped down to 5%. If we has a PST of 2% it would be just like what we had but could potential generate billions over the course of a year, the only difference is that our old school "GST" now gives money back to the province.
