The B.C. Liberal government recently announced that some natural-gas projects won’t have to undergo provincial environmental assessments.
This is despite the government losing a court decision to First Nations. They objected to the province’s refusal to subject the Northern Gateway pipeline to a review by the Environmental Assessment Office.
The Spectra South Peace pipeline, Spectra’s Dawson gas plant, Spectra’s Fort Nelson North plant, Nova Gas Transmission’s Groundbirch pipeline, and Nova Gas Transmission’s Horn River mainline extension were exempted under an order-in-council last week.
