Mr. Speaker, yesterday I asked the environment minister why he is so negative toward offshore oil and gas development in B.C.
Does the minister not know that the offshore oil and gas industry has a history of success around the world, from Alaska to California, Hibernia, and Aberdeen in Norway? For example, comments made in the B.C. legislature last week made it clear that the minister had no credibility with the B.C. Liberal government.
Why will he not admit that he is a major stumbling block toward development in B.C. and just sail off into the sunset?
