Mr. Speaker, thousands of Albertans are deeply concerned about the proposed Grassy Mountain coal mine. Open-pit coal mining is a dated and destructive industry. It is an environmental disaster for water protection and an economic disaster for farmers, ranchers and those in the tourism industry. This project would result in severe consequences for Alberta's water and these impacts would be felt downstream in Saskatchewan, Manitoba and the U.S.
Recognizing that this would have a devastating impact on so many people, will the minister put a stop to this destructive project?
