Adjournment Proceedings
An adjournment debate on oil sands contamination, raised by the Green Party leader. She said tailings ponds at sites including Cold Lake and Kearl have been leaking into the Athabasca River for years despite warnings from scientists more than a decade ago, and argued this harms the environment and breaches Indigenous treaty rights; she asked when the government will act. The parliamentary secretary replied that the government takes these risks and the recent Cold Lake spill seriously, is working with Indigenous groups, the province and scientists to track pollution, will enforce penalties under existing law if it was broken, and said treaty rights are central to the government.Written by AI from the debate.
