He also brushed aside a plea from the province's aboriginal chiefs to halt approval of new projects.- _$ N; p5 [7 H0 j

Stelmach, who famously said he doesn't believe in "touching the brake" on development, dismissed as preliminary a call for an immediate suspension of government land-lease sales in three massive environmentally sensitive swaths of northern Alberta.3 C, f0 E3 B, X7 w3 q" S* @7 z. O
; Y7 X1 h8 _1 {( n+ qI'm in shock, even the energy giants are telling our government to put the brakes on oilsands development and Stelmach still refuses to do anything about it. Is he completely deaf/dumb/blind? I think the majority of Albertans realize that something needs to be done, whatever that something may be. I don't understand how Stelmach feels it is O.K. to be so careless. |
