The
documents reveal that CAPP’s vision is one that would “expedite” aspects
of public consultation — potentially reducing the opportunities for

on.

Landowners
and affected Albertans receive notice of new oil and gas developments
that may directly and adversely affect them — whether it’s an oil or gas
well, a pipeline, an oilsands development or another energy project.
They can then file what’s known as a statement of concern if they are
worried that the project will affect them or the local environment.
