Mr. Speaker, the truth is that the last month has seen many major oil spills in Canada: a quarter of a million-litre oil spill near Elk Point, a half million-litre spill into the Red Deer River threatening the water supply, and, nearly a million litres in northern Alberta. The Conservatives response has been to cut corners on reviewing the northern gateway pipeline.
British Columbians and all Canadians want strong rules that protect public health and the environment, and the NDP agrees with them.
Will the Conservatives now listen to reason, listen to Canadians and stop gutting environmental protection rules?
