I would like to see actual case studies or something though that proves or at least makes a case that this will happen and isn't just partisan fear mongering.

The NDP is just general assumptions. As for the Liberals, we don't necessarily case studies, we have been down that road before. Does that mean we will again? Unlikely, but there is enough good reason to watch closely. Read the article on the previous page. Yes, it is written by a pro O&G guy, and that's good - I think it's fair to have a side representing that bias too. And I wouldn't call it fear mongering either, guy has credentials:
