1. ENVIRO WATCHDOG
Monitoring system for oilsands recommended
A federally appointed advisory panel has told Ottawa and Alberta to put politics aside and set up a world-class environmental monitoring system for the oilsands. Former environment minister Jim Prentice appointed the panel to review concerns about oilsands pollution entering the Lower Athabasca River basin and connected waterways, and whether environmental monitoring systems are well designed and implemented. The panel, which released its results before Christmas, recommended a new system be set up to establish baselines, collect relevant data and refer it to a group of renowned scientists for review.
