It’s a big difference of opinion over the environmental priorities for the Energy East Pipeline project.
After its hearings in northwestern Ontario on Energy East, Trans Canada Pipelines singled out only a few local waterways as so-called sensitive areas.
In the meantime, the lobby group, Common Voice Northwest, hired a consulting firm to get feedback from residents in the region.
They found that all water was equally important and that it’s not possible to rank some areas as more significant than others.
Specifically, they identified 10 water crossings in the northwest that should be considered for enhanced protection.
The pipeline would carry crude oil from Alberta to New Brunswick.
Common Voice is accepting online comments until May 22nd.
