MARGARET SPEIRS / THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

Enbridge a focus of NDP leader’s visit By Margaret Speirs THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE - Enbridge’s plan for a pipeline and super tanker connection so that Alberta oil and be exported to Asia was again condemned by federal NDP leader Tom Mulcair during a one day tour of the area Aug. 18. “I’m categorically opposed to super tankers in the Douglas Channel,” he said during a press conference after landing at the Northwest Regional Airport the morning of Aug. 18 and before embarking on a tour of Kitimat, Hartley Bay and Kitamaat Vil-

lage. He met with municipal and First Nations leaders at the locations. Mulcair was accompanied on the tour by Skeena - Bulkey NDP MP Nathan Cullen who is the party’s finance critic in the House of Commons. He said seeing the Douglas Channel, the route tankers would take in and out of Kitimat, was important for him to get an understanding of what was at stake. Mulcair also said First Nations issues are important in Canada and that he spends on matters

regarding First Nations people. The opposition leader also brought up the recent spill of the Imperial Metals’ Mount Polley tailings pond. The spill does not mean that new laws and regulations need to be set up but the ones we have need to be enforced, however, the federal Conservative government has scaled back and is not following up on the laws and regulations in place, he said. It was not an act of God, which some have claimed, rather it’s due to a mining company that doesn’t care and that has put human health and the economy at

risk, said Mulcair. “The NDP would ‘enforce the law and apply it equally to everyone,’” he said. “The laws are there to be enforced because we have an obligation to future generations to give them the right to live in a clean country,” said Mulcair. Mulair left the region the morning of Aug. 19. His last official function was appearing at a meet and greet held at the Terrace Sportsplex the night of Aug. 19. That appearance included taking questions from those who attended.
