Sierra Club Canada Statement on Imperial Oil and the Mackenzie Valley Pipeline Review
“The joint review panel's recommendations were written to prevent another environmental disaster in Canada. If Imperial Oil is unable to abide by those recommendations then perhaps the pipeline should not be built," said Lindsay Telfer, Director of the Sierra Club Prairie Chapter.
"Imperial Oil must accept all 176 recommendations by the joint panel review, anything less is a slap in the face to the individuals and communities across the north who participated," said John Bennett, Executive Director, Sierra Club Canada.
