RE: RE: RE: Protecting Comox Valley Water Supply.. in the present climate of deregulation of the coal mining industry, corporate needs are addressed and environmental risks ignored or dismissed. Premier Clark has promised to streamline the permit process and not tie companies up in "red tape." See scathing audit of the EAO for the effects of deregulation that fuel CEC's move through the permit process. See the Auditor General's scathing criticism of the BC Environmental Assessment Office for rubberstamping all but one mining permit, for failing to enforce environmental restrictions associated with the permit, and for failing to collect adequate securities to cleanup the inevitable contamination of watersources that costs taxpayers billions.
