Will the Prime Minister side with our community? Or will the government ignore that lack of permission and give a permit to another reckless foreign resource company? For most of my neighbours, it’s a no-brainer.

This is your last chance to submit your comments to the Federal Government and say NO to Woodfibre LNG as part of the latest public comment period organized by the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency (CEAA). We've made this quick and simple for you.
