BC Chamber of Commerce to host pipeline-focused energy summit

The proposed Northern Gateway Pipeline will be the focus of an energy summit later this week.

It’s being hosted by the BC Chamber of Commerce — a group strongly in favour of the project.

Chamber president John Winter says the public debate has been extremely one-sided.

“What we’re really hoping to have happen on Wednesday is a number of panels that will talk to some of the realities that are not being talked to at this point in time — and try to create a common fact base for people to really make up their minds.”

Winter says the industry has done a poor job of raising its priorities and commitments when it comes to the project.

Energy Board hearings are also set to resume in Prince George this week.
