The leader of the federal Green Party says she’s worried about the “contamination” of the regulatory systems used to approve high-profile energy projects, following the conditional approval granted this week to the Pacific NorthWest LNG project.
“We have a system of rubber stamping bad projects while giving the minister talking points that say it’s gone through a rigorous scientific review,” Elizabeth May said in an interview with CBC Radio’s The House.
“I greatly fear the culture of the previous 10 years remains deeply embedded throughout the regulatory regimes … and I just don’t want to rubber stamp dangerous projects where the colour of the ink has changed, and that’s the only thing that’s happened after the election.”
