That's an approach that the government really can't take.

If you don't nip this in the bud, what's stopping another province from breaking the constitution?

I'm going to bust out my jump to conclusions mat, but it's pretty easy to see where this slippery slope goes.
Oh I don’t disagree with you guys, but that’s the reality. “We we’re giving you $1.5bn for coastal protection and now we can round that to $2bn and everyone’s happy” kind of thing. We get the pipeline, BC gets the cash to protect the coast. Everybody saves face politically and it’s basically victimless.
