Premier David Alward getting a letter from the Penniac Anti-Shale Gas Organisation claiming that in every jurisdiction where shale gas exploration has taken place, people have lost their water and their health.
Spokesperson Armand Paul tells CHSJ News there is no way the government can regulate adequate protection for homeowners.
The group is calling for shale gas development and exploration in the province to be stopped permanently because there are no regulations that would be able to protect homeowners.
Environment Minister Margaret Ann Blaney is about to leave for Pennsylvania to see how its working there. She says nothing tangible will happen for at least two years if the provincial government decides to move ahead.
Interim Provincial Liberal Leader Victor Boudreau is accusing the Alward Government of being too industry friendly on this issue.
There are concerns hydraulic fracturing or fracking to extract the natural gas will contaminate water supplies wth methane.
