'Environmental groups that have been fighting for the end of offshore oil and
gas development in British Columbia are celebrating victory after the federal
government announced the last remaining permits for Pacific Ocean exploration
had voluntarily been surrendered.
Federal Energy and Natural Resources Minister Jonathan Wilkinson said Wednesday
that Chevron, the last corporation to hold the permits, had voluntarily
relinquished them as of Feb. 9.
Jay Ritchlin, the David Suzuki Foundation's director general of B.C., said he
welcomed the news.
"I've been working on this for 20 years.... Offshore oil and gas drilling
doesn't have a place in the future."'
We need to follow this example here in Australia.
