Environmental debate heats up TOM FLETCHER Black Press Prominent voices in the environment and petroleum debate are speaking out this week, with a federal by-election in Victoria set for Nov. 26. The seat vacated when MP Denise Savoie retired for health reasons in August has been considered safe NDP territory in recent years. But the Green Party of Canada is making an extra effort to add to its 2011 breakthrough when Green leader Elizabeth May won the party’s firstever federal seat, Saanich North and the Islands. The Green Party arranged a fundraiser Monday night for candidate Donald Galloway, a University of Victoria law professor who has been advising May on policy. The event
features broadcaster David Suzuki, UVic climate scientist Andrew Weaver and musician Dan Mangan. The NDP has nominated lawyer Murray Rankin, who has been advising the provincial NDP on opposition to the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline proposal. NDP leader Thomas Mulcair visited Victoria last week, where he declared that neither the Enbridge pipeline nor the proposed expansion of the Trans Mountain oil pipeline from Alberta to Burnaby should be considered until Ottawa’s environmental approval process is strengthened. The Liberal Party candidate, economist Paul Summerville, stirred up local debate by opposing the Capital Regional District’s proposed land-based sewage treatment. See PUBLIC Page A3
