We, the undersigned, citizens and residents of Canada, call upon the House of Commons to call upon the Government of Canada to authorize a full environmental assessment report under the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency regarding this proposed pipe. I hope you will all support this!! https://petitions.ourcommons.ca/en/Petition/Details?Petition=e-1750 Thank You, Northumberland Strait Sportfishing
