Time for ‘NDP pipeline peek-a-boo’ to end

VICTORIA – With one of his senior MLAs today confirming the BC NDP plan for a ban on all pipelines and tankers, Environment Minister Terry Lake says it time for Adrian Dix to stop playing peek-a-boo with the resource economy.
“One day the NDP oppose the Northern Gateway Project, the next day they plan a review they may overrule, and there’s no day when the opposition leader gives a straight answer on the Kinder Morgan plan,” says Lake. “These are uncertain economic times and we need to offer up clear rules for investors when they’re deciding to create jobs. We have five clear standards that have to be met before heavy oil pipelines can proceed. Our government has set unambiguous rules that are fair to everyone who wants to invest in British Columbia.”
Earlier, Maurine Karagianis took to social media and said, “@mkaragianis: Along with #bcndp: B.C. native leaders plan declaration banning pipelines, tankers and oilsands”.
Later in the day, after realising she accidently revealed a portion of the BC NDP’s hidden plan,  Karagianis tried to put the cat back in the bag tweeting, “@mkaragianis: Sorry, re earlier tweet – meant #BCNDP opposes the Enbridge NGP. 140 characters sometimes not enough!”
“The BC NDP have been dodging and weaving, refusing to give straight answers on how they would develop our resource sector,” says Lake. “They’ve paid lip service to supporting B.C.’s natural gas industry and today the veil has moved and we’ve got a peek at the party’s real plans. It’s time for the NDP to be honest and tell us their real plans.”
Premier Christy Clark and the BC Liberals have a plan to grow the economy, ensuring British Columbians are first in line for those jobs and that we’re making life more affordable for families.
