They're trying to shut down the energy industry, the forest industry and the mining industry. If it were about raising the standards and actually addressing climate change, some of the measures that have been put in place in B.C. should have been enough. Even with a commitment to improve on that, it never seems to be enough. There are always other challenges coming up, whether direct or indirect. The latest one was because B.C., first nations and Canada agreed with the $40-billion LNG project. What comes next? A jurisdictional challenge on saying that Canada has some authority over the pipelines, because some of the LNG comes from Alberta.
Who thinks of this kind of stuff? A stall is just as good as stopping a project, in today's investment climate. That's what I see as the objective. I've talked to a number of these groups, and I've said it straight to their face. It's basically why my band wouldn't side with ENGOs.
