Mr. Speaker, I have a petition to present to the House today signed by residents of Burnaby and across the Lower Mainland.
The petitioners are opposed to the construction of Kinder Morgan's new bitumen-based, export-only crude oil pipeline from Edmonton to Burnaby. The petitioners draw to the House's attention that this pipeline is a danger to our local environment and is just a bad deal for British Columbia.
The government has been pushing for this pipeline, but I urge it to consider this petition before it makes its final decision.
