Mayor has questions about coal exports

Vancouver’s Mayor is asking questions about plans by local port authorities to increase coal exports.

Gregor Robertson’s written a letter to Port Metro Vancouver requesting full public consultation before any decisions are finalized.

He’s concerned because if two proposals to boost exports are approved,  Vancouver’s Port will become the largest exporter of coal in North America.

Robertson also says city council’s been seeking more public input since July of 2010.
