“The demand for fossil fuels continues to grow – it would be unreasonable for us to pretend we can get off oil, diesel and gasoline anytime soon… Despite what many opposition groups claim – stopping pipeline projects such as Energy East won’t stop the development of the oil sands.”
“Transporting oil by pipeline has been shown to be significantly safer than other modes of transportation. So to me, we have a choice to make: between a safe pipeline, or more oil moving through Northern Ontario by rail. I will continue to advocate for the safest option possible, and that is why we joined with 110 municipalities across the north to support Energy East.”
