No. This is an exploration phase in New Brunswick. As David said, there are a lot of questions left unanswered. People in rural communities are posing questions about what is going to happen when damage occurs. Will industry be responsible for cleaning up the mess? Where is the water being treated? Where is it going? What's the end result? Where is that water being ultimately discharged? Do we have the processes in place to effectively take out the toxins? Do we have that technology?
So there are a lot of questions that are being asked and very few answers given to them. The provincial government points to provincial acts that are triggered at multiple steps along the way, but they don't actually clarify what the specific rules and regulations are to protect New Brunswickers.
