The article below sounds good - but let's be careful, as slick
politicians have a tendency to substitute the word "science" when they
mean "seismic testing" and "oil exploration", as a precursor to
drilling... Ken Wu, WCWC

CKNW(AM980) - The moratorium on off shore oil and gas drilling in B.C.
is not a priority for the new Federal Conservative Government.
That's from Garry Lunn, MP for Saanich and the gulf islands and now the
Minister for Natural Resources.
Lunn says his government has other matters to deal with first, but he'll
be discussing the issue with the provincial government.
He adds he prefers a cautious approach, and wants scientific research to
go ahead so an informed decision can be made.
