New Brunswick reviews natural gas moratorium after public input

New Brunswick’s five-month review is examining whether the conditions of its natural gas development moratorium reflect current science, technology, markets and regulatory practices. No decision on the moratorium is announced in this update.

• Public input so far: More than 2,400 online survey responses, over 100 written submissions and feedback from more than 100 Sussex-area residents.
• What the review covers: Environmental and public health risks, regulations, economic effects, community impacts and First Nations rights and priorities.
• What’s next: Experts will continue their work through January. A December update is expected to include completed work and preliminary findings.

The survey is closed, but people can still share their views by email.
