  Hi there,

  Will this project bring any job opportunities to the Lower Mainland Area?

  Thanks!

  Hi Margarita, thanks for your comment and question.

  Unfortunately, we're not sure we can help you. We're unaware of any websites or groups that would universally represent the views of unemployed people with regards to this project.

  We suspect that, depending on the skillset of the unemployed person, some would welcome the jobs and opportunities that will come from the project. Others might think that the increased government revenues from taxes related to the project would also be of considerable benefit to them if they rely on government services.

  Good luck in your research.

  Hi, I am Margarita. I'm in grade 9, and my class has to do a role speech about the Northern Gateway Pipeline. My role is an unemployed citizen. I have to write a speech about why should I be against the Northern Gateway Pipeline, but I can't find the information that I need. I was just wondering what site can I go to, to find the information about unemployed citizens, and how the Northern Gateway Pipeline affects them? I need to find an unemployed citizen point of view about the Northern Gateway Pipeline.

  Hi Corey, thanks for your comment.

  There was a lengthy discussion of the evidence regarding the Alaska experience at recent JRP hearings in Prince Rupert.

  Here's a link to the testimony: https://www.neb-one.gc.ca/ll-eng/livelink.exe/fetch/2000/90464/90552/384192/620327/628981/924718/13-02-26_-_Volume_145_-_A3F6U9.pdf?nodeid=924924&vernum=0

  And here's a link to the scientific evidence on the record regarding spill incidents, impacts and recovery: https://www.neb-one.gc.ca/ll-eng/livelink.exe/fetch/2000/90464/90552/384192/620327/624798/833081/B83-17_-_Attachment_8_-_Recovery_of_the_Biophysical_and_Human_Environments_from_Oil_Spills_-_A2V1T1.pdf?nodeid=832993&vernum=0

  We encourage you to take the time to review the evidence and questioning. The scientific evidence paints a remarkably different picture than the one you've suggested in your comment.

  Hi Adriaan, thanks for your comment.

  Unfortunately, the article you're referring to, specifically the headline the paper chose to run the story under, didn't accurately portray the discussion that took place at the JRP hearings. The questions being asked related to the specific experience in Alaska with the Exxon Valdez incident. Northern Gateway does not believe that an incident should be described as beneficial for any local economies--we can all agree that incidents should be avoided and that environmental protection should be paramount.

  Enbridge is a leader in alternative energy; we've made significant investments in wind, solar and geothermal, among other sustainability projects. That said, pipelines are the safest and most efficient method of transporting large volumes of liquids over long distances. Safe and responsible energy delivery is our top priority.

  I doubt this will even get posted but if it does I will keep checking as I would like to hear what you folks have to say in regards to what I am about to ask. First off 560 jobs is not that much once it is completed, secondly the claim is 1.2 Billion in tax revenue over 30 years. That really is not much money specially over a 30 year period. The jobs on the coast and the industry around Kitimat brings in around 3 billion dollars a year in revenue. Now be honest it is not a matter of if a spill is going to happen only a matter of when. Now when this spill happens in a couple years the lost revenue will be more than the province will be getting for this pipeline in over 30 years. Take the Exxon spill back in 1989, those community's and people lost their business their food and their way of life and were hardly compensated for it and the little bit of compensation they did receive took nearly 20 years with courts and litigation and the whole process. Please explain to me how this is really going to be a benefit to our province and how risking so many people lives and way of life not to mention all the aquatic life and the natural beauty of our province is worth the meager 560 permanent jobs and the meager 1.3 billion over 30 years.

  There was an article printed in our local paper here in Prince George talking about the benefits of an oil spill and that the clean up crews will make money and the revenue lost will be compensated. I think that this is completely absurd and we in BC should not even entertain the idea of a pipeline for a second. The jobs and growth that is talked about is not even close to what could be and would be lost in the event of a spill. Also given Enbridges past spills and history it is only a matter of time for when it happens.I think that companies such as this should invest some of the billions and billions of dollars they have made destroying our planet into something more beneficial like clean energy sources. Enbrige use your money and power to leave a positive legacy for mankind, help ensure the survival of our race and planet and help us to thrive as a species instead of destroying the only place we have to live. You guys have the power to change the world and make it better. Let that be your legacy Enbridge, don't have more spills and destruction don't destroy our coast or our Province, and please don't treat us like idiots and insult our intelligence by telling us that an oil spill is a good thing.
