Thank you. Your concern has been submitted.
Some key points you can raise:
- British Columbians deserve the same protections as in the US, where strong regulations screen against LNG risks!
- BC & Ottawa must explicitly consider security risks from deliberate attack on tankers when assessing LNG projects;
- Proponents must prepare a gap analysis of local security resources and a cost sharing plan for risk management;
- BC must demand Ottawa require moving security exclusion zones around LNG tankers;
- BC & Ottawa must develop an LNG spill preparedness and response regime;
- The LNG industry must have adequate liability coverage and a self-funded incident response organization;
- BC must demand Ottawa develop regulations for bunkering LNG tankers.
- BC should pause plans for LNG exports from proposed and approved projects until all of these issues are addressed.
