Quebec’s St. Lawrence fracking ban challenged under NAFTA
Council of Canadians water campaigner Emma Lui has commented, "It may seem unbelievable that a company’s 'right' to frack where, when and how it wants could overpower the government’s responsibility to protect its citizens from harm. It’s equally alarming that investment treaties could obstruct a community’s right to say no to fracking or other mega-projects that tax the land and water for the sake of profit — and not the public good.
