Previous to its return to British Columbia, the Joint Review Panel concluded hearings in Alberta, where the prospect of a pipeline it seems isn't quite as contentious.
Not so in British Columbia, where even the Premier has weighed in on the controversy, politicizing the issue to a fair degree and to mixed reviews thus far. The project has come to represent the lightning rod of discontent across Northern British Columbia, where rhetoric at tines tends to overshadow the actual discussion.
The latest stage of the review panel, the final hearings on the controversial project, gets underway in Prince George this week, where representatives of Enbridge, the company planning the pipeline project have been taking a variety of questions from a number of participants at the review.
The Prince George sessions have been split into two segments, the first running this week until October 19th and then proceedings will resume in Prince George from October 29th to November 9th.
Once these sessions are concluded in Prince George, the panel will work its way westward towards Prince Rupert, where sessions are scheduled November 22 to 30 and December 10-18.
As the Panel Proceedings continue in British Columbia we will track the latest developments below:
