Christy Clark and the BC liberals have made a lot of bold claims about their position on pipelines proposed for British Columbia. However, what they have neglected to tell British Columbians is that their government has entered into two agreements that ensure the success of pipelines from Alberta to the BC Coast. Everyone knows there has been a lot of politics surrounding pipeline developments in British Columbia, but very few are aware of the longstanding agreements, established by the BC Liberals, that ensure the success of the proposed pipelines and have thoroughly tied the hands of all BC Stakeholders leaving them with no capacity to actually impact the processes ensuring the success of these developments. TILMA/NWPA absolutely confirms that no level of government in British Columbia can block pipeline development, impede trade through the Province or create any obstacle, whatsoever, that prevents pipelines from Alberta from reaching BCs tidal waters. Doing so would result in fines up to 5 million dollars per infraction. The June 2010 Equivalency Agreement, done in secret by the BC Liberals and against the letter of the law, forfeits our provinces ability to review, assess and decide on these pipeline proposals that threaten to transform the province as we know it.
