Sean Barrett (Independent)

The last paragraph on page 3 refers to the natural gas safety regulatory framework. Will the framework include fracking? I have heard concerns expressed in this House about the evils of fracking. Is it hideous or beneficial? If there are concerns about this aspect of the gas industry, perhaps they might be allayed by including fracking in the natural gas safety regulatory framework. This would assist the House greatly in its deliberations on and consideration of whether fracking is good or bad for the country.
