Gas hearings clash with NDP wing on export plans
The Waffle faction of the New Democratic Party appeared at the National Energy Board in Ottawa to oppose exporting 2.7 trillion cubic feet of natural gas to the United States. The group warned the deal would bind Canada to American interests and threaten Canadian gas supply. They cited support from Ontario and Quebec utilities and warned exploration could suffer if large Canadian reserves were reserved for export. The brief argues a continental energy package would make Canada an underdeveloped resource base, citing Nixon and Imperial Oil’s J A Armstrong as proponents of such a deal.
