The second petition I would like to present was signed by residents primarily in the Vancouver area and has to do with pipelines and supertankers.
The petitioners are asking the House of Commons to insist that our government look at the threats posed to the B.C. coastline, particularly by oil tankers. This coastline has been protected for 40 years by a federal-provincial moratorium that every provincial and federal government has respected since 1972 because of the very significant threat due to the specific ocean action and geographical conditions that apply in northern British Columbia.
The petitioners call for the protection of the coast from supertankers and a no to the pipeline projects.
