Simply stating 'No tanker traffic off the west coast regardless' is the one that really bothers me. That's basically denying the industry the ability to sell it's product to an international market. It would also handcuff LNG ports already under construction at Kitimat. It would also cut back on tankers we already ship from the transmountain pipeline.
Now that sounds reasonable.
