“A small group of Prince Edward Islanders ventured to the Magdalene
Islands to join other concerned citizens at a forum to explore the costs and
benefits of drilling a deep oil well, in the area dubbed "Old
Harry", in the Laurentian Trench between the Maggies and western Newfounland.
Corridor Resources owns the exploration permit and they want to proceed
through a screening level environmental assessment and drill as soon as
possible (2012 – 2014). After hearing of the risks and meager to non-existent benefits for rural
communities who will be affected by the pollution that accompanies such
activities, the forum participants called for the full panel review of the
project, as well as the strategic environmental assessment to consider the
wider implications. However, even before going this route it is clear to many
of us that the existing framework for decision-making is gravely flawed.
Therefore, we first need a moratorium on all further exploration in the Gulf,
to give time for research, reflection and extensive public consultation
leading to the reform of the petroleum board and environmental assessment
systems.”es and western Nfld. Corridor Resources
