Review of the Federal Moratorium on Oil and Gas Activities Offshore British Columbia

Thank you for your interest regarding the review of the federal moratorium on oil and gas activities offshore British Columbia.

The goal of this review is to provide decision makers with a solid understanding of the possible impacts of oil and gas activities in selected areas of offshore B.C. It is important to note that this process is not a decision on whether or not to lift the moratorium, but rather a means to fully explore the issues and views of British Columbians. Our approach will be comprehensive and it will be balanced. It will be cooperative so that, together, we can make an informed decision that reflects the informed views of all stakeholders.
