The leader of the NDP says Premier Christy Clark has fallen short of even his hopes for representing BC well to other provinces.
“There is some limit to the number of times you can use your fellow Premier’s to stage photo ops.”
Adrian Dix is reacting to the short and frosty meeting between Christy Clark and Alberta Premier Alison Redford.
“This whole meeting which was set up in an unusual way wasn’t very professional surely the BC Premier can meet with other Premiers in a respectful way and disagree if that is necessary. This sort of game playing and media stunt does not go very far to advancing Canada’s interests, BC’s interests, Alberta’s interests, or anyone elses.”
Dix says Clark is playing what he calls media politics with the Northern Gateway oil pipeline.
He says Clark has simply failed to make a clear stand on the Enbridge proposal.
“They have handed over jurisdiction to the federal government so to do that would require them following what I recomended which gets rid of the equivalency agreement with the federal government as it stands whatever the federal decision is the provincial decision will be you know on top of that of course the government failed to even evidence in the hearings involved.”
Dix says the NDP would have a seperate BC based review.
