A group of companies asked the National Energy Board (NEB) to approve their proposal to develop three natural gas fields in and near the Mackenzie Delta. They would also build pipelines to ship the natural gas and natural gas liquids south to markets. Together these three proposals are called the Mackenzie Gas Project. This set of two volumes presents the response of the NEB. Volume 1 first describes the project as a whole and some of the factors assessed in determining whether it would be in the public interest. It then looks more closely at the natural gas fields, gathering pipelines and processing facilities in the Mackenzie Delta region. Finally, it outlines the decision reached by the NEB. Volume 2 describes how the project would be built, operated and regulated.--Includes text from document.

The mainline Canadian Christian churches supported the call for a moratorium and, through the inte...
