LNG

July 21 - An election campaign of Canada's federal Environment Minister Leona Aglukkaq is likely to see any ruling on the controversial Pacific NorthWest LNG being pushed back until after the vote has been cast. The Petronas-led project on Lelu Island envisages to build a 1.6-km suspension bridge to carry a pipeline from the island extending over the northwest flank of Flora Bank, an area that contains eelgrass used by juvenile salmon. Canada's First Nations are fiercely opposing such plans.
