The final National Energy Board hearings on the Mackenzie Gasline begin today, in Yellowknife. This isn't "news" per se, since this has been scheduled for months, but I'm especially struck by Imperial Oil spokesman Pius Rohlheiser's comments:
We believe it's a sound, potentially economic project that has the potential to provide meaningful, long-term positive benefits to a variety of stakeholders, including the companies involved, and governments, and the people of the North
This comment is a gratifyingly emphatic endorsement of the project by its most important proponent.
While I support this project, I hope these hearings provide an opportunity for all stakeholders to present their respective points of view.
