Proposed Shale Gas Regulations Are Window Dressing According To Enivronmentalist

David Thompson with the Conservation Council of New Brunswick says the proposed changes to the regulations governing shale gas development is nothing more than window dressing.

He tells CHSJ News the changes don't address the real issue -- whether people want shale gas development in the province at all.

He says public consultations promised by the province have yet to be held.

Changes to the regulatory framework include higher fines and more royalties for the province.
