Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Foreign Affairs Minister Peter MacKay appeared to send mixed messages Wednesday over how much relief the government can give motorists dealing with high gasoline prices.

Speaking to reporters in Halifax, MacKay hinted that drivers could get a break when the federal budget is introduced late this month or in early May.

"There discussions about that right now, and we have a budget coming and we're getting all kinds of submissions ... on what to cut and what not to cut," said MacKay.

But hours later in Manitoba, Harper said the only relief Canadians can look for will be when his government lowers the GST to six per cent from seven per cent. He admitted that would only provide "marginal" relief to motorists.
