letter to Terry Lake, BC Minister of Environment

The Galloping Beaver (Tuesday, May 12, 2012) finally prompted me to add my voice:

Dear Dr. Lake,
I was astonished to recently discover that your government has apparently given up the right of BC to review and decide on the Enbridge Northern Gateway Pipeline project.
As BC would accept almost all the risk and receive almost none of the benefits, it seems to me the very least we should have is a final decision on the project; I find it hard to believe that any BC government would have willingly given up the right to decide on an issue of this magnitude and importance.
Consequently, please inform the Federal Government that the government of BC now wishes to reclaim the right to both review this project and decide on whether it will proceed.
Yours very sincerely,
