Ha! Great question. Assuming he's identifying as media, I don't think we can blame Bob. Only 6% of requests came from media in the peak year, 2020-21, and they've generally ranged around 10-15% in the years since.

Objections from Conservatives include the exclusion of pipelines and LNG.
MLA Scott McInnis suggested in the legislature that northern BC residents might welcome the fast-tracking of pipelines through the region which... seems to not take into account the history of pipelines in northern BC.
