British Columbia’s government has confirmed that a decade‐old environmental assessment certificate remains valid for a new LNG pipeline, effectively giving it the green light despite simmering opposition. First Nations and environmental advocates aren’t exactly celebrating, suggesting the old rules may not cut it in today’s world.
The British Columbia government says a decade-old environmental assessment certificate remains valid for the construction of a natural gas pipeline in northern BC, in a decision opposed by the province's Green Party and environmental groups.
BC rules Prince Rupert Gas Pipeline has "substantially started," letting a 2014 permit stand — First Nations and environmentalists call it a blow to climate and Indigenous rights.
Le gouvernement de la Colombie-Britannique affirme qu’un certificat d’évaluation environnementale datant de dix ans demeure valide pour la construction d’un gazoduc dans le nord de la province, une décision contestée par le Parti vert de la province et des groupes environnementaux.
