WRITTEN QUESTION 28-17(5): COMPARISON OF IMPACTS OF HYDRAULIC FRACTURING AND OTHER DEVELOPMENTS

Mr. Speaker, my questions are for the Minister of Industry, Tourism and Investment. Would the Minister provide the following information:

What is/are the cleanest-burning fossil fuel(s) for heating use and for generating electricity?

Please provide the city of Yellowknife’s annual energy consumption, with a breakdown of each source of energy.

Please describe a typical hydraulic fracturing operation, including how many times a well is “fracked.”

Please provide a table or graph showing the annual water use of:

a typical hydraulic fracturing operation;

Imperial Oil’s facilities in Norman Wells;

the city of Yellowknife; and

the Diavik Diamond Mine.

What is the Department of Industry, Tourism and Investment doing to educate NWT residents about the technology used in hydraulic fracturing?
