PRINCE RUPERT - The Chief of the Gitxaala Nation is calling for unity among Tsimshian nations as Lax Kw’alaams seeks title to Lelu Island. Chief Clifford White took issue with a statement from the Lax Kw’alaams Band that said it was “regrettable” that other Tsimshian communities chose “to accept agreements with PNW both prior to full scientific evaluation of the proposed facility and in conflict with Lax Kw’alaams rights and interests and those of up-river nations”. “It is disappointing and irresponsible for Lax Kw’alaams to take an adadian n Canht, or o s l o M r’s Lig Style, Coo r Old Pilsne ONLY

versarial position with other Tsimshian nations on the Petronas project,” he said, noting Gitxaala is part of the Tsimshian Environmental Stewardship Society. “The Tsimshian communities need to work together to ensure projects in our shared territory are properly reviewed and delivered to the highest standards, now and into the future.” As for the project itself, White said the Gitxaala Nation is continuing to review plans for the terminal. “Our level of review for the Petronas project is no different than our review of the Northern Gateway Pipeline. Gitxaala Environmental Monitoring (GEM) is actively in-

volved in theCanadian Environment Assessment Agency (CEAA) process to ensure proper due diligence for this project occurs. The potential economic benefits are second to the environmental values. The environment has always been, and will always be, our first priority,” he said in a statement, alluding to the work the band is doing to stop the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline. “The Gitxaala First Nation continues to lead the Tsimshian people on Northern Gateway through continued legal action against the federal government’s approval of the Northern Gateway pipeline. We have led the fight on the coast

against Northern Gateway. We have very clear views on the protection of our coastal environment and these are the same values Gitxaala carries in CEAA’s review of Petronas’ LNG terminal at Lelu Island ... We will not move to final agreement with Petronas until all potential impacts on community health, LNG plant safety and the environment are addressed to our satisfaction.” The statement from the Gitxaala came two days after Lax Kw’alaams filed a notice in the B.C. Supreme Court seeking a declaration that the band holds aboriginal title to the lands and that the project cannot proceed without their approval.

“British Columbia, Canada and the Port continue to assert jurisdiction and control over the subject lands. In asserting jurisdiction and control and in dealing with the subject lands, British Columbia, Canada and the Port have interfered with and continue to interfere with the Allied Tribes’ Aboriginal title to the subject lands,” reads the filing, which lists the Prince Rupert Port Authority, the provincial and federal governments and Pacific NorthWest LNG as defendants. “The construction of the project would damage important fish habitat on and adjacent to Flora Bank, which would interfere with the plaintiff’s fishing rights.”

Aboriginal relations at crisis point: Cullen By Kevin Campbell THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

ROBB RYDDE / THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

Firefighters battle a blaze on Summit Avenue.

Fire claims residence By Shaun Thomas THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - A residence on Summit Avenue was completely destroyed after a fire broke out early Sunday afternoon. “Upon arrival, the one building was fully engulfed in flames,” explained Prince Rupert fire chief Dave McKenzie. “The one unit, including all of the personal belongings, is completely destroyed. I would estimate the damage at more

than $200,000.” McKenzie said the fire was an “accidental fire” caused by the misuse of smoking material. There were three children and two adults in the residence at the time, but all were able to evacuate unharmed after the smoke detector went off. McKenzie said it took firefighters three hours to extinguish the blaze, but personnel remained on scene until 8 a.m. Monday morning to monitor for flare ups and hotspots in adjacent buildings.

PRINCE RUPERT - Skeena - Bulkley Valley MP Nathan Cullen spoke scathingly of the provincial and federal governments last week, after a largely Tsimshian First Nations occupation movement had gathered on Lelu Island while ocean test drilling was in operation by Pacific NorthWest LNG (PNW). The incumbent NDP candidate for the riding in the upcoming October federal election blasted the Conservative federal government, led by Prime Minister Stephen Harper and the B.C. Liberal provincial government, led by Premier Christy Clark, over the process of helping PNW pick a site for their LNG export terminal. “I don’t know if it’s incompetence or ignorance, you’d have to pick one, for the federal and provincial governments to issue licenses to companies to build large resource projects right in the very places that are most important to our economy and ecology,” said Cullen while in Prince Rupert earlier in September. “We now believe that this is coming to a bit of a crisis point. We have the occupation on the island, we have building resistance across the Northwest that is galvanizing First Nations and it’s certainly in [PNW]’s best interest for the government to usher them to a new location and do it soon.”

The MP mentioned that it’s not PNW, that the site wouldn’t work just the Lax Kw’alaams who recog- based on the proximity to the salmnize the location as on spawning region and the an ill-fitting place eelgrass environment. to build an export “We, certainly from the terminal, but First commercial fishing indusNations from the try, told Petronas [that] they coast to Alberta are were never going to be able uniting in opposito build their plant there. tion due to the imThe opposition would go portance of the wild all the way from the Babine salmon habitat that [Lake] all the way down to is located in the vicoastal First Nations as well cinity of the proas the commercial fishing Nathan Cullen industry and the sports fishposed LNG project. “I think it has ing industry,” said Thorkelunified First Nason. tions right from “I think they’re going to here to Alberta behave to change locations ... cause everybody Otherwise [PNW] is facing understands the value of wild fish,” years of court battles, they’re facing said Cullen. occupation of the island, they’re fac“I think [PNW] got sold a bad bill ing resistance up and down the line of goods.

OPEN HOUSE Telethon SUN, OCT. 4 2 5 PM seeks Hillcrest Place Apartments helping hands from

By Cameron Orr THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

KITIMAT - The Aluminum City Telethon will mark its 36th year on October 18 when the iconic, annual event once again broadcasts in Kitimat. The event will run from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Fans of the event will see the return of old favourites performing on stage and a kids play area is also planned. But what the event does need, says Telethon Chair Jean Nidd, is volunteers for the day. People wanting more information on how to get involved with helping out with the telethon can call the Child Development Centre at 250-632-3144. Last year’s telethon raised nearly $120,000, money which is used by the Kitimat Community Foundation to provide grants to community groups in Kitimat.

Section 288 of the Local Goverment Act states that municipalities are not liable in any action based on nuisance where the damages arise, directly or indirectly, out of the breakdown or malfunction of a sewer system, a water or drainage facility or system, or a dike or a road. Nuisance actions are defined as instances in which a home is damaged as a result of a sewer, drainage or water system, or roadway or dike, breaking down and malfunctioning. For instance, it could be a basement covered by several inches of water stemming from a drainage system being jammed by someone dumping garbage into a municipal ditch, or it may be a home filled with backed up sewage. Residents are cautioned to take steps to protect their property and are strongly urged to review their insurance policy with their individual brokers to ensure adequate coverage in the event of a nuisance claim.

Fireworks OK for Terrace By Josh Massey

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE - The tradition continues: fireworks are allowed in the city between Oct. 24 and Halloween, however the use of them will be enforced according the nuisance bylaw. Council voted not to change the bylaw despite noise and frightened animals coming up as an issue last year and a ban or curtailed hours considered. Councillor Sean Bujtas said his dog broke a tooth when it panicked from the loud fireworks noises once. The options were to ban the fireworks completely or to reduce the days when they are allowed. But the local minor hockey association sells fireworks at a successful fundraiser every year, and limiting their use only to Halloween was seen as too strict because of all the events happening on other days. Council decided to take an educational approach, with responsible fireworks messages to be posted where the fireworks are being sold.

Civic leaders weigh in on tax policy at UBCM convention By Jeff Nagel

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

VANCOUVER - Municipal leaders have decided against asking the province to resume regular increases in B.C.’s carbon tax in the name of fighting climate change. Delegates at the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention narrowly defeated the motion from New Westminster on Thursday, with 52.4 per cent voting no on Thursday. The tax has been frozen at $30 per tonne of carbon dioxide emis-

sions since 2012 – equivalent to about seven cents a litre on gasoline. The tax also applies to natural gas, coal and other fossil fuels. The proposal called for increases of $5 per tonne each year for five years, followed by a review. It also urged the province to break from its policy of making the tax revenue-neutral and use the extra revenue to support emission-reduction projects. “It’s a sure-fire way to create a balance between the cost of renewables and the cost of carbon,” said Vancouver Coun. Adriane Carr,

who warned this summer’s extreme drought and smoke from forest fires will be “our new future.” But Prince Rupert Coun. Barry Cunningham cautioned a major increase in carbon tax would unfairly drive up the cost of living in northern B.C. “If you live up north, everything is trucked up there,” he said. “This would add a lot to all our food and everything else that’s trucked up.” Other delegates argued the carbon tax should go up by more than $5 a year and it should be expand-

ed to target untaxed carbon emissions sources, such as methane escaping from landfills and fugitive emissions from LNG production and other industrial activity. B.C.’s carbon tax was introduced in 2008 and attracted international interest as a potential model for reducing emissions. A climate leadership team appointed this year by the province is to advise the government on further steps for cutting emissions. Several demands for funding and tax policy changes did pass at UBCM.

Delegates voted to urge the province to increase its corporate income tax rate by one per cent and send the extra revenue to local governments. Some called that idea dangerous, but advocates said municipalities are too dependent on property taxes and need an extra revenue source to rebuild infrastructure. Civic leaders also voted to urge the province to create a seismic upgrading fund by reallocating $190 million per year of the $450 million in tax it collects on property and vehicle insurance premiums.

Cruise season deemed a success By Shaun Thomas THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - The departure of the 264-passenger Le Boreal in the early morning hours of Sept. 23 marked the end of the 2015 cruise season in Prince Rupert, a season that included 10 vessels carrying more than 3,600 passengers to the North Coast. Reflecting on the year in cruise, Prince Rupert Port Authority marketing manager Brian Friesen said it was a successful one on a number of fronts. “It was positive for a few reasons, but primarily with the number of passengers participating in shore excursions offered in Prince Rupert. Just over 70 per cent of passengers participated in a tour and I think that tour offering is one benefit Prince Rupert has,” he said, noting feedback was also positive from those

who didn’t join a tour. “I think passengers liked the character of the town and the friendliness of the people, and I know they liked walking around Prince Rupert and spending time in places like Cow Bay ... people had nothing but positive things to say about the nature and some of the wildlife.” However, Friesen noted that there is work to be done around providing information to independent visitors, those who did not take tours, regarding where to go and where they can find things in town. It is something that Friesen said will be worked on throughout

the fall with an advisory group that includes the port authority, the City of Prince Rupert, Tourism Prince Rupert, the Chamber of Commerce and tour operators. As for next year, Friesen said the focus will be on continuing to attract smaller, highBrian Friesen end cruise lines similar to those that called on Prince Rupert this year. “A lot of passengers on those high-end lines are looking for unique experiences ... we feel like we have a bit of a niche there and will continue to target those lines, as well as having discussions with other lines in the Alaska cruise theatre,” he said. “We’re looking forward to another successful year in 2016.”

“We’re looking forward to another successful year in 2016.”

Prince Rupert Harley Riders gearing up for annual Toy Run Beginning at the Salvation Army on Grenville Court, off of Fraser Street in downtown Prince Rupert, over 50 motorcycle riders are expected to congregate, catch up (as some of them have come from hundreds of kilometres away) and kick off the Poker Run, which sees all participants visit five locations including the Port Edward fire hall, the Seal Cove Seaplane Base and the whale statue at the waterfront to collect five cards for the game. “The high hand wins half the pot and the low hand wins half the pot,” said Rose. Capt. Gary Sheils of the Salvation Army will be on hand before the 1 p.m. kickoff time to wish the riders well and to thank them for their generosity. After the five stops, the riders will head to The Hub for a dinner before making their way to the Fishermen’s Hall at 8 p.m. for a dance, five live bands who have all donated their time and skills, door

PRINCE RUPERT - On Saturday, Oct. 3, big, kind teddy bears – both stuffed and on motorcycles – will descend upon Prince Rupert in an annual tradition that mixes fuzzy stuffed animals and gruff bikers with large hearts. The 2015 Prince Rupert Harley Riders Club’s 34th annual Toy Run is scheduled to motor its way through town at 1 p.m. on Saturday for its Poker Run and the club’s asking for a bit of help providing holiday cheer to those less fortunate in the area. The Toy Run donates all admission costs (which includes a monetary cost and a new toy or non-perishable food item) to the Salvation Army Christmas Hamper program. “We’re trying to get as many people out as we can to help us out and help the community out,” said Harley Riders’ president Chris Rose.

prizes, including a return flight for two to Vancouver from Hawkair, a Harley Davidson watch from Cook’s Jewellers, a room at The Crest hotel, gas cards, an oil painting by a First Nations painter worth $350 donated by Ridley Terminals and much more. “[The bands’] time is donated and has been for 34 years. They just come and bring their equipment, we supply them with a T-shirt and a few drinks and they play all night long for us,” said Rose. At 11:30 p.m., the club will also hold their draw for a new 2015 FXDL Harley Davidson Dyna Low Rider worth over $22,000 from Harley Davidson of Smithers. “[The proceeds] go to the Kaien Anti-Poverty Society and the North Coast Health Improvement Society. We’re helping the hospital buy a portable X-ray machine,” said Rose. For tickets to the Poker run or to enter the draw for the new bike, contact Rose at 250-600-6033.

Owned by the Tahltan Nation and headquartered in Dease Lake, the corporation this year celebrated its 30 anniversary of involvement within the northwestern B.C. economy. From a start in residential and then commercial construction, the corporation either by itself or in partnership with other businesses has worked on major development projects, including BC Hydro’s Northwest Transmission Line, Iskut River runof-river hydro-electric projects and the recently-opened Red Chris copper and gold mine owned by Imperial Metals. Corporation CEO Garry Merkel said the award acknowledges “the significant contributions it has made to the Tahltan Nation and

its efforts to ensure community members benefit from responsible economic and resource development in the territory.” A core staff of 30 manages the enterprise with employee numbers growing depending upon contracts obtained by the corporation. It has recently begun construction on a new and larger office and operations facility in Dease Lake. The awards will be presented at a banquet Oct. 14 in Vancouver. The BC Achievement Foundation is financed by the provincial government and offers annual awards in a number of categories, including community achievement, the arts and literacy. It offers the following awards: British Columbia Community Achievement Award (launched 2003) British Columbia Creative Achievement Award for Applied Art and Design (launched 2004) British Columbia National Award for

Premier: Prince Rupert mayor has “incredible vision” By Shaun Thomas THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - In his first time attending the Union of British Columbia Municipalities conference, Prince Rupert Mayor Lee Brain was praised by Premier Christy Clark in her keynote address to municipal leaders from around the province. “Lee Brain has incredible vision. Charles Hays, who died aboard the Titanic in 1912, had a vision too and that was to see Prince Rupert become a port city for the world. Lee has taken that vision up, with gusto I might add, to ensure his community can achieve that vision,” she said. “When he sees membership in the Chamber of Commerce grow by 40 per cent, he knows small business is growing and that is part of his vision.” Clark also used her address to delegates to announce the creation of a three year, $75 million Rural Dividend. “We have protected British Columbia’s economy by diversifying it .... we have to help rural communities diversify and this dividend is all about sharing the wealth,” she said $25 million will be made available each year over the next three years to help smaller communities build capacity and quality of life, expand learning and skill development opportunities, retain youth and bring previous residents back and encourage collaboration with First Nations.

BC GOVERNMENT / THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

Prince Rupert council met with Aboriginal Relations and Reconcilliation Minister John Rustad, Minister of Natural Gas Development Rich Coleman, Minister of Community, Sport and Cultural Development Peter Fassbender, Premier Christy Clark and Transportation Minister Todd Stone.

Annie Marie (Bonnie) Ostrom March 21, 1941 - September 10, 2015

n the morning of September 10th, at the age of 74, Bonnie died peacefully. She suffered terribly the last few years and she is now free from her suffering. Bonnie was the fourth daughter born to Hugh Wilson Crowell and Sarah May McCabe in Truro, Nova Scotia. She was married in Nova Scotia and moved to Surrey, BC with her four children in 1965. She later moved to Prince Rupert, BC in 1977 and married Ray Ostrom in 1981. Together they lived for several years in Prince Rupert until they decided to try up-country living and moved to Granisle, BC. They enjoyed their time on Babine Lake but returned to Prince Rupert in the 1990’s. They had strong ties to the fishing community and enjoyed many years at their home in Hunt’s Inlet, BC. Bonnie worked for more than 10 years at BC Ferries, a job she truly enjoyed. Bonnie is survived by her loving husband Ray Ostrom; her children, Kelly Johnstone, Diana Bateson, Christine Urquhart & Paul Urquhart; her sisters , Myrtle Arnold, Shirley Morgan, Bertha Hanes; her six grandchildren, Amanda, Candace, Curtis, Russell, Jeremy & Sydney; five great granddaughters, Taylor, Cora, Bailey, Naomi & Adelane and many nieces, nephews and Ostrom in- laws. Bonnie was predeceased by her parents, her brother Hughie Crowell, her brothers-in-law Leonard Ostrom and Ivar Johansen and her nephew Leonard Blois. Her daughters would like to express deep gratitude for the love, care and support Ray continually provided to Bonnie during very trying times. Her daughters would also like to thank their cousin Marianne Wick for the support she provided to both her Uncle Ray and her Auntie Bonnie. A special thank you also goes out to Pastor Jim Whaley for the regular visits he made to ensure that both Bonnie and Ray were not alone. Last, but not forgotten, a thank you to Marg Ostrom, a constant in the Ostrom Clan. Friends and family are invited to attend a Memorial Service being held in Prince Rupert at the St. Paul’s Lutheran Church on October 10, 2015 at 4 p.m. In lieu of flowers, the family will be grateful for donations in Bonnie’s memory to St. Paul’s Lutheran Church, Prince Rupert or a charity of your choice.

Rampage defeat River Kings as teams meet for first time By Kevin Campbell THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT Things couldn’t have gone much better for the Prince Rupert Rampage in their only exhibition game of the season, as they downed their Highway 16 rival Terrace River Kings 8-3 on Saturday night in front of a crowd of 650. The Rampage, who found themselves with only two wins through the duration of last season, look primed to blow those numbers out of the water with a new-look offence, fuelled by the addition of a few Rupertites who have returned from playing junior hockey down south and one who played Western Hockey League (WHL) hockey with the Prince George Cougars and Kelowna Rockets as well as university puck with Thompson Rivers University. Tyler Halliday, the veteran of 136 WHL games, endeared himself to Rupert fans immediately by scoring four goals and adding one assist for five points in his first game in the red and black. Halliday highlighted a complete 60-minute team effort by the Rampage, by scoring a natural hat trick by the 14-minute mark of the second period and adding a fourth marker seven minutes into the third. “I’ve been with [my linemates] Braydon Horcoff and Cole Atchison since August and I’ve been dryland [training] and everything like that, so I moved here in June and I wanted to contribute to the team and be a part of the community,” the Kamloops product said. Horcoff is another addition coming from junior hockey this year, as the Rupertite played his 2014-15 season with the Junior B Beaver Valley Nitehawks of the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League (KIJHL). Cole Atchison got some games in last year with the Rampage and is in his second year with the club.

Other new faces included forward Patrick Robert, who scored the rhinos’ second goal in the first period, Jamie Schenkeveld, who notched an assist and had a rough game, being the victim of a four-minute spearing penalty by Terrace’s captain Steve Cullis, and Tyler Ostrom, who returned from playing Junior B hockey with the Osoyoos Coyotes in the KIJHL. “Our defence kept it simple tonight. Ostrom had a pretty solid game offensively and JeanLuc [Fournier] was a good physical presence out there and we’ve got big-boy Jamie out there. He took a few shots tonight, but he played well also ... We had a few guys step up. I thought Jordan Weir played great up front on the PK (penalty kill) and sniped a good one there,” said Roger. Rampage general manager Ron German liked the amount of pressure that has been taken off previous Rampage scorers like Meers, Movold and Munro. “I think what it does this year, is you’re not looking for the same guy to go out and penalty kill and then have to go out and score some goals for you. That’s the biggest thing – we have a little bit of depth this year – four lines up front, anybody’s good to go at any time,” said German. And while the team was excited they just beat the defending Central Interior Hockey League (CIHL) champs by five goals, the manager remained cautiously optimistic about their chances the next time the rhinos have a shot at the River Kings with a full lineup. “They’re no different [from us]. They have a lot of new faces and they have a few guys that are back from junior too ... so it’s basically our old guys have got to match their old guys and new guys have got to match their new guys, so you’ll see a lot different Terrace team the next time they come I guarantee you that.” Horcoff broke the

Robert followed that up just one minute later when he scored a similar marker, beating a sprawling Ames from in close on the right. Then, Halliday notched his first of the game again from in tight to end the first frame 3-0 Rupert. Terrace would threaten at the start of the second with a goal from inside the blue-line from Dawson Leblond to make it 3-1 before Halliday and Terrace’s Leblond exchanged goals to end the period – Halliday on a shorthanded breakaway and Leblond five-on-five. Halliday would add another to complete the hat trick on the power-play. With the score 5-2 to start the third, two goals in less than a minute by Ostrom and Halliday took the game out of reach at 7-2 and Weir and Cullis exchanged goals in the last five minutes of the fame to finalize the score 8-3 for the Rampage. Rampage netminder Devon Gerrits turned aside 20 of 23 shots, while Ames stopped 17 of 25 Rupert shots.

Kitimat runs for Terry …

CAMERON ORR / THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

KITIMAT - The annual Terry Fox Run was held in communities across B.C. on September 20, with Kitimat joining those ranks in the major cancer research fundraiser. In our town 51 participants showed up on a damp afternoon which sent people on a route through the Kildala neighbourhood on a loop back to Riverlodge. Organizing volunteer Christine Doherty said that just shy of $900 was raised by those 51 people. She said she’s already looking forward to the 2016 run, to take place September 18 next year.

REM Lee Foundation achieves major 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) goal for hospital TERRACE • PRINCE RUPERT • KITIMAT By Margaret Speirs

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE - Mills Memorial Hospital a new, state-of-the-art high definition endoscopy suite to assist surgeons when taking a look inside a person for diagnosis, treatment or therapeutic reasons. The $300,000 price tag took a little more than a year to raise by the Dr. REM Lee Hospital Foundation and its many individual and business supporters. The new machine has better high definition (HD) than the older one and allows the medical team to see on a screen where the scope is going inside the patient; before they had to feel around on the patient to determine where it was going, said Holly Pritchett, registered nurse operating room/endoscopy. There are two different types of scopes: gastroscopes are used for looking down into the upper area of the gastrointestinal tract and colonoscopes for looking up into the colon, said Pritchett. Both types are used to find benign and cancerous tissue. Each type is only used for those specific areas and are not interchanged, she said, adding that some patients ask about that. If patients are brave enough, the screen can be placed so they can watch the scope moving inside them, she added. It also comes with a pediatric scope that is smaller and used on young people, to get in to look at areas that are narrowing or to see areas after radiation or chemotherapy to determine if that treatment

The smaller scope could also be used in areas that are bleeding from treatment. Also included in the suite is a tall cabinet with a fan inside that dries the scopes after use and after they’ve been washed, which takes half an hour. Several scopes can be hung up in the cabinet at the same time and are colour-coded so they can be rotated to ensure each is used. The suite also includes a new monitor for the anesthetist, a CO2 insufflator to inflate an area, a warmer for sterile water to en-

LNG delays are costly By Cameron Orr

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

KITIMAT - A report from the Fraser Institute says delays getting B.C. liquefied natural gas projects to reality is costing the province billions of dollars. A report titled The Cost of Regulatory Delays, says the International Energy Agency believes no Canadian LNG project would start production by 2020, while 17 international projects are looking at starting by 2019 at the latest. “The magnitude of these lost export revenues should encourage policy makers to streamline the regulatory process so that British Columbia is able to make use of its large natural gas resources,” said a summary of the report.” The lost export revenue in 2020 could be $22.5 billion, according to the report. “The export revenues lost in 2020 would be equal to 9.5 per cent of British Columbia GDP in 2014,” the report says in its conclusion. Skeena MLA Robin Austin, who is also the Opposition Spokesperson for Northern Economic Development, told the Connector that delays in LNG are more a matter of political faults.

“Delays do cost businesses money,” he said. “The trouble is the B.C. Liberals have been pushing this LNG not so much at the speed at which the market would decide but pushing it for political reasons.” He said the government’s efforts to get a final investment decision have been causing conflict especially in Aboriginal communities. “The market will decide this thing because it has to make sense in terms of finding buyers at a price that is cost effective for them, to build a terminal and to build a pipeline. And prices have dramatically gone down since this whole thing started,” said Austin. As for these delays being something to think about for policy makers, as the report notes, Austin sees a different picture. “When you think of what the federal government has done to rip apart the federal environmental process to the point where people don’t have confidence in it you have to be careful. Streamlining, or as people in the government like to say ‘getting rid of red tape’ isn’t necessarily the right thing to do,” he said. “There is no economy without clean air, water and soil.”

Passing the test…
