Dear Editor:
I am glad to see that Woodfibre LNG received federal environmental approval.
Canada has always relied heavily on resource development. Thankfully over the past 30 or so years we have looked to minimize the impacts on the environment with thorough environmental impact studies. It is a shame that so many people are still vehemently opposed to any development. They should know that a huge portion of our government revenues are paid by corporate taxes and resource royalties.
When I see a ship exporting grain, sulphur, timber, oil (and hopefully LNG), I think of all the nurses, teachers, infrastructure and social programs that these exports support.
LNG can and should be responsibly developed and I am proud that the first such terminal will be developed so close to home.
