Natural Resources
Question period exchanges on natural resources, centred on the federal ban on oil tankers along British Columbia’s north coast. Conservatives said a private company is ready to ship up to 250,000 barrels a day through Prince Rupert without government money, asked the government to lift the ban or grant an exemption, and argued the northern route is as safe as the southern route, where tankers are permitted. Liberals pointed to their support for other energy projects, including the Pacific Link pipeline to the west coast, pipeline expansions and LNG projects, and cited the B.C. premier’s support for Pacific Link and record shipments at the Port of Vancouver.Written by AI from the debate.
