The Vancouver Sun reports in its Friday edition that the current federal review process of energy projects needs to be stopped and overhauled immediately, say more than 50 environmental-activist groups in a letter sent to the Prime Minister. A Canadian Press dispatch to The Sun says that no pipeline projects should go forward until Justin Trudeau reforms the National Energy Board, says the letter. That means the current review of the Energy East pipeline proposal for Eastern Canada and the NEB's decision to accept the expansion of the Trans Mountain pipeline in Alberta and British Columbia need to be annulled, they argue. "If the government wants to restore public confidence in the process and they want a fair, objective and evidence-driven analysis they need to overhaul this thing," Patrick DeRochie of Environmental Defence, one of the letter's signatories, told CP. The activists say the NEB board members are in a conflict of interest and that first nation communities are not being properly consulted. Moreover, they argue the review process does not properly explain to citizens how Canada can build pipelines and expand Alberta oil sands production while also respecting the country's greenhouse emission targets.
