Whereas the inside passage of British Columbia is an environmentally sensitive wilderness;

And whereas oil tankers travelling in these waters pose a great threat of environmental catastrophe, with devastating effects on fishing, tourism, and the livelihood of First Nations;

And whereas the Government of Canada is considering allowing the Northgate pipeline and its associated oil tankers;

Therefore we petition the Government of Canada to prohibit oil tankers in the inside passge of British Columbia and reject the Northgate pipeline project.
