Canada should review regulations on all “unconventional” oil exploration, including oil sands and offshore projects, before allowing new work to proceed, New Democratic Party Leader Jack Layton said.
The review would be broader than the current one being conducted by the federal regulator, Layton told reporters in Ottawa today. Safety questions about drilling in remote regions using newer technologies must be answered after the spill at a BP Plc well in the Gulf of Mexico.
