Madam Speaker, I have the honour to rise today to present a petition about the Teck Resources Frontier oil sands project.
The petitioners ask the House of Commons to take note of the enormous greenhouse gas contribution that would occur if Teck Resources Limited's Frontier mine were approved. It would produce 260,000 barrels of bitumen a day. Environment and Climate Change Canada's submission to the environmental review panel pointed out that this project would be 24% more carbon intensive than the lowest carbon intensive oil sands projects. The petitioners note that this would violate Canada's climate commitments.
The petitioners call on the House of Commons and Parliament assembled to reject Teck.
