Promise to streamline mining
The favourite in Monday's Alberta election, Danielle Smith and her Wildrose party, plans to push the province's oil and gas advantage if elected.
In the party's Policy Green Book, the party sidesteps worries about greenhouse gas emmissions saying the science still isn't clear.
“The discussion surrounding global warming has become highly emotional,” writes the party in its Policy Green Book. quarry business plan
“There is obviously still healthy scientific debate as to the extent manmade emissions of CO2 are affecting global temperatures and this debate will likely carry on formany years.”
The party believes the Carbon Capture and Storage initiative was wasteful and ineffective. Wildrose plans to eliminate it if elected.
Smith, a former journalist who worked in print, radio and television, criticizes the Progressive Conservative government of under-promoting and downplaying Alberta energy. Wildrose plans to promote the resource sector more forcefully.
“Alberta needs and deserves a government that is able to competently manage our energy industries and clearly articulate our positive and powerfulmessage to Canada and the world.”
The Policy Green Book states that Alberta needs to diversify its trading partners and increase trade with Asia. Expect Wildrose to push more strongly for gas pipelines in British Columbia, like Enbridge's Northern Gateway project. Gold mining equipment for sale
Promise to streamline mining
The Canadian government followed through on last month's budget promise to streamline environmental reviews of resource projects with a plan for “responsible resource development.” quarry business plan
Announced Tuesday by Natural Resources Minister Joe Oliver at a factory in Toronto, the plan features a “one project one review” system of reviewing major projects- a reference to costly duplications of environmental reviews cited by resource companies as unecessarily slowing and impeding development of mining and oil and gas projects. Environmental groups, on the other hand, view the change as fast-tracking projects and gutting environmental safeguards for projects that could prove risky to the environment. stone crusher
Oliver defended the plan as a way to create jobs and to avoid stalling economic growth by putting investment at risk:
“With scarce resources, it is counter-productive to have the federal and provincial governments completing separate reviews of the same project,” Oliver said in Toronto. ”We need to tap into the tremendous appetite for resources in the world's dynamic emerging economies — resources we have in abundance.” minining equipment manufacturer
The new system will recognize provincial processes as equivalent to federal ones as long as they adhere to the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act. It also sets deadlines for hearings and assessments: 24 months for panel reviews, 18 months for National Energy Board hearings and 12 months for standard environmental assessments.
More controversially, the program reduces the number of groups that can do reviews from over 40 to three- leaving only the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency, the National Energy Board and the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission.
CBC News reported environmental groups and opposition parties saying the plan gives big energy companies carte blanche by dismantling the checks and balances that protect the environment:
“After slashing funding to the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency, they're now saddling it with the obligation to do more complex reviews, faster, with fewer resources,” NDP environment critic Megan Leslie said Tuesday.
“You're going to have less time, less resources from the federal government to actually look at and understand these projects and less opportunity for the public to point out errors and omissions in submissions by proponents,” John Bennett, executive director of Sierra Club Canada, told CBCNews.ca.
