REUTERS - New Democratic Party leader Thomas Mulcair, right, speaks at the Alberta Legislative Building in Edmonton on Thursday after an aerial tour of the Alberta oil sands.
For years, Canada has been seen as an environmental leader on the world stage, pushing other nations to tackle acid rain, save the ozone layer and sign global treaties to protect biodiversity.
The Canadian government launched a public relations counteroffensive Monday, sending 10 of its ministers out across the country to tout the benefits of overhauling the nation's resource development laws.
Canadians on both sides of the debate said the legislative changes would give the nation's oil and gas firms a quicker and more certain path for shipping their products overseas, rather than relying on the American market. The issue has taken on more urgency because it is uncertain whether the Obama administration will grant a presidential permit for TransCanada's proposed Keystone XL extension, a 1,700-mile pipeline that would ship heavy crude oil in Alberta to the Gulf Coast. After the administration rejected the permit in January, saying it could not evaluate it properly in the face of a congressionally mandated deadline, it has eased the way for the lower segment to go through and is reconsidering a permit for the leg between Alberta and Nebraska.
The budget bill also would amend the Fisheries Act so it would only bar activities that do "serious harm" to fish in a commercial, recreational or aboriginal fishery, or which supply those fisheries.
But it could also ease the way for pipelines through British Columbia, because there are so many waterways there that the Northern Gateway project would cross that don't have formal fisheries, according to Nicholas K. Dulvy, Canada research chairman in the marine biodiversity and conservation program at Simon Fraser University. |
