NDP MP Linda Duncan blasts government over tanker threat to endangered West Coast orcas

Ms. Duncan, the NDP's environment critic and an environmental lawyer by trade, says that the federal government's approval of the Kinder Morgan Trans Mountain pipeline, as it stands, means that the government hasn't 'delivered on their responsibilities for a threatened species.'

The National Energy Board determined the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion would have a significant adverse effect on an endangered killer whale population off the shore of Vancouver, due to an increase in oil tanker traffic.Photograph courtesy of Christopher Michel
