Quebec Paves Way for Oil, Gas Exploration With New Plan

摘要

Quebec's Legislature passed a bill that will pave the way for more oil and gas exploration, providing a boost to drillers such as Junex Inc. while drawing ism from environmental, aboriginal and citizen groups. Bill 106 passed Quebec's National Assembly in a 62-38 vote early Dec. 10 after an overnight debate ahead of the holiday break. The legislation is meant to implement Quebec's clean energy plan but also contains provisions allowing for energy exploration, potentially including fracking.
