Christy Clark: Controversial Proposal

Prime Minister Stephen Harper Dept: Clark s comments came the same day Enbridge promised to add $500 million in safety improvements to its proposal, which the company said is meant to address concerns raised by first nations and the public. First nations in northern B.C. were quick to say the additional safety measures would not alter their opposition to the 1,150-kilometre pipeline between the Alberta oilsands and Kitimat, however, according to Vancouver Sun. I was giving them the heads up on what we re going to be talking about next week because I don t want my colleagues, particularly our neighbours in Alberta and Saskatchewan, to be surprised, Clark told The Friday and premier Christy Clark toughened her stance Friday on the Northern Gateway oil pipeline, saying the controversial proposal poses too much environmental risk for British Columbia while not offering enough economic benefits. Clark spoke one day after she held extraordinary face-to-face meetings with the premiers of Alberta and Saskatchewan as well as a phone call with Prime Minister Stephen Harper giving all three a warning that her government will next week lay out its demands on the Gateway project.
