The Financial Post reports in it Friday edition that Stockwell Day has joined Pacific Future Energy as a senior adviser, director and chairman of the company's advisory committee. The Post's Claudia Cattaneo writes that Pacific Future is proposing a $10-billion refinery on British Columbia's North Coast. Mr. Day says he is "acutely" aware of the "unique" challenges facing the industry in B.C. Mr. Day says the refinery would be built in partnership with first nations in the Prince Rupert area, be the world's greenest by using advanced European refining technology. It would take bitumen from the oil sands and process it into gasoline, diesel, kerosene and other products that would be less harmful to the environment if there is a spill, and create many high-tech refinery jobs. Pacific Future's proposed refinery is one of a handful of projects proposed so far -- including Enbridge's Northern Gateway and Kinder Morgan's TransMountain pipeline expansion -- to link production from the oil sands in Alberta to consumers in Asia. British Columbians have shown scant enthusiasm for the plans. Mr. Day says Pacific Energy's proposal addresses green and native issues concerning shipping raw bitumen along the B.C. coast.
