MPP Gilles Bisson vented his frustration over gas price 'gouging' in Timmins with a Facebook video in which he calls on Ontario's Energy Minister to threaten the industry with regulation.

In the video, which had been viewed nearly 6,700 times as of this morning, Bisson points to a 18-cent price difference between Timmins and Ottawa on Tuesday and asks Energy Minister Glenn Thibeault to send a message to fuel companies that "either you get yourselves under control and stop taking advantage of the market or we'll do it for you."

Last week, Thibeault announced the province had launched an investigation into how gas stations set their prices, but said it would not result in regulation.
