There has been a heated spat between British Columbia Premier
Christie Clark and Alberta's Premier Alison Redford. The dispute started
when Christie Clark paid a call on Redford to outline her conditions
for the Northern Gateway pipeline, before going public.Christie went public this week, prior to the Premier's Summit in Lunenburg, NS with her conditions:
1. Completing the environmental review process with a recommendation by the National Energy Board that the project proceed.
2. Deploying world leading marine oil spill response for the delicate BC coast line
3. Using world leading land spill response and prevention.
4. Addressing legal requirements of Aboriginal and treaty rights.
5. Ensuring that BC receives a fair share of the fiscal and economic benefits. At present B.C. only gets eight percent of the pipeline revenue. Full Story @allovoices
