Mr. Speaker, if things keep going the way they are now, we will not have standards for the oil and gas sector until after the flood.
In 2012, the Conservatives drafted questions and answers in response to a study on contaminants that accumulate in the snow near oil sands operations. They claimed that the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons that accumulate are no worse than what is found on a barbecued steak. However, a new study has found that mercury levels in the water and ground are 13 times higher in those areas than elsewhere.
Will they stop ignoring pollution, which has serious implications for the health of Albertans?
