[Louisette Lanteigne]

Hi folks
The Royal Society of Canada has published their tar sands report online that can be viewed here:

Criticism of the report came swiftly. Clayton Thomas-Muller, Tar Sands Campaigner of the Indigenous Environmental Network. "This situation violates International Human rights laws and Canada's own constitutional laws pertaining to First Nations rights." To view the press release in full, visit here:http://www.sierraclub.ca/en/node/3554
Pembina's response: "Now we are anxiously awaiting the report of a federal panel, also set up to review Alberta's monitoring of pollutants downstream from the oilsands. The report is also due this week." They go on to state: Peer reviewed studies by David Schindler, an internationally renowned water expert, and his team found elevated levels of toxins downstream from oilsands operations.http://www.pembina.org/blog/450
If I catch wind of the link to the federal panel's report, I'll be sure to relay. 
Have a good one everybody.
