Fort Good Hope questions value of fracking regulations meeting – CBC
Crowd of 50 asks for more information, more time for discussion on proposed rules
Apr 14, 2015
“Shameful,” and “a practical joke” were some of the words used to describe a community consultation in Fort Good Hope, N.W.T., on proposed regulations for hydraulic fracturing Monday night.
About 50 people came out to meet a representative for the territorial government who was in town to present the proposed regulations but many at the meeting felt it was put together too quickly and poorly organized.
With no decision makers in attendance — no MLAs or ministers — many felt the government wasn’t taking the consultations seriously.
