As spokeswoman Cara Tobin said in an e-mail, the review is “a complex undertaking and the implications on Alberta’s regulatory system are significant…the ERCB will continue to take a measured approach to the study.” [Emphasis added]

- Frac’ing is a health crisis! Releases radiation: as airborn particles; *radon into homes and water wells*; in brine/waste dumped on leases, roads, croplands, pastures; contaminating farms, communities, wildlife, livestock, families (frac’ing has been linked to leukemia and lymphoma in kids), workers, foods, landfills, trucks and rig equipment March 12, 2024

Obviously, gov’t and AER don’t plan to make industry clean up or seal their climate chaos causing leaking wells. Companies only care about money and $billions in subsidies from ordinary Canadians (struggling to feed their kids), lots of lies, secrets, toxic cover-ups, refusing to pay taxes, and propagandizing you and your kids.
