When federal Environment Minister Catherine McKenna approved the Pacific NorthWest Liquefied Natural Gas project, she attached 190 conditions to it, covering everything from wetlands to underwater noise to brown bats.
Just how much of a barrier these conditions are is a matter of debate.

“They are intended to ensure that … we do as much as we possibly can to improve the quality of the project and the way that it operates.”
