Notley is in Ottawa this morning giving the Senate her take on Bill C-69, overhauling the way energy projects are assessed for environmental and economic impacts.
She says the bill needs major amendments including setting harder limits on the time it can take to do a review, and ensuring the reviews take into consideration the number of jobs a project will produce. She also wants most new Alberta energy projects exempted from the bill because of existing provincial review processes and her government's climate change policies.
Notley does say the review system the bill replaces is no better but also that swapping one broken system for another makes no sense. The Senate is being heavily lobbied on this legislation, with the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers saying more than 40,000 letters have been sent to individual senators asking them to amend the bill.
Did she just wake up? Too little too late. Drop the writ so we can move on with someone who doesn’t take months to realize things we’ve been saying all along.

This article wasn't even worth posting. If our federal government and premier are not 100 percent behind the oil & gas industry, it will fail and pull Alberta's economy down with it. In a world where fossil fuels are under attack, a full-blown counter insurgency is needed. A 'balanced' response will not be good enough.
