Delta South MLA Vicki Huntington says the B.C. Environmental Assessment Office is failing to protect B.C.’s interests in the ongoing environmental assessment of Port Metro Vancouver’s proposed Terminal 2 project.
“I was profoundly disappointed that the EAO said the port’s environmental impact statement was ‘complete’ and that they had no comments,” said Huntington. “It’s their responsibility to protect areas of provincial jurisdiction and they are failing miserably in that duty to the people of B.C. “Light, noise, air quality, agriculture, provincially owned and designated lands and ecologically protected areas are all directly affected by this project, yet the B.C. Environmental Assessment Office had no comment on the thoroughness of the port’s impact statement.”
