Lelu Island LNG environmental assessment questioned by 130 scientists

group of more than 130 scientists is questioning the science behind an environmental assessment of a proposed LNG terminal on the North Coast of British Columbia.

The draft report by the Canadian Environmental Agency into the Pacific LNG development proposal for Flora Bank and Lelu Island was released last month.

In a letter to the federal government, the scientists raise five areas of concern with the "scientifically flawed" draft report, and ask the federal Minister of Environment and Climate Change Catherine McKenna to reject it.
