NDP critic, Comox Valley MLA question environment review of proposed coal mine

NDP Environment Critic Rob Fleming considers the environmental assessment underway for the proposed Raven coal mine in Baynes Sound as weak and inadequate considering the scope of the project and risks to the community.

Compliance Coal last week submitted its application, which government agencies are reviewing before it goes public. There is opportunity for public comment before the application goes before federal and provincial governments for final approval.
