Natural Resources committee  Merci beaucoup. Bonjour. Thank you for the opportunity to appear before this committee. My name is Will Koop. I'm a researcher and author of numerous reports and a book concerning the protection of public drinking water sources in British Columbia. A year ago I created a website called “Stop Fracking British Columbia” when I began to investigate energy corporations in northeast B.C. mining enormous volumes of fresh water to hydraulically fracture or “frack” deep shale gas deposits.
