Premier demands better Northern Gateway deal

Premier Christy Clark is vowing to “fight for BC” and says she won’t support the Northern Gateway pipeline proposal unless Alberta agrees to sit down and sweeten the deal for British Columbia.

Clark says right now, things seem pretty one sided—in favour of the Albertans.
 
“They take the bulk of the benefits. they take a minority of the risk. Meanwhile, British Columbia takes the vast bulk of the risk–100 percent on the marine side, and only gets eight percent of the benefits, according to the economic analysis that’s been done for the joint review panel”.

The Premier was speaking with CKNW Gord MacDonald.
