Nova Scotians have overwhelmingly expressed concern about allowing high volume hydraulic fracturing to be a part of onshore shale development in this province at this time. Our petroleum resources belong to Nova Scotians, and we must honour the trust people have put in us to understand their concerns. We will therefore introduce legislation to prohibit using this technique to stimulate onshore shale projects. The decision comes after considering comments submitted by many Nova Scotians over the past 10 months, as well as studies, including an independent review commissioned by the government of Nova Scotia, and the recent Council of Canadian Academies report for the federal government. All submissions, presentations, and documents for the hydraulic fracturing review are available at cbu.ca/hfstudy The hydraulic fracturing report is available at energy.novascotia.ca/oil-and-gas/onshore/hydraulic-fracturing-review
