British Columbia, Canada’s westernmost province, said today it can’t support Enbridge Inc.’s Northern Gateway bitumen pipeline because project plans fail to address the risk of spills on land or sea.

“Northern Gateway has presented little evidence about how it will respond in the event of a spill,” Christopher Jones, a lawyer representing the province, said today in a statement to the federal panel reviewing the project.
