Moving Beyond The Moratorium: A Future For Hydraulic Fracturing In Quebec
Abstract
This paper provides an overview of the energy debate in Eastern Canada in both New Brunswick and Quebec. In particular, the proposed development of hydraulic fracturing in the St Lawrence Lowlands of Quebec and the provincial moratorium on fracking in 2011. The situation came to a turning point following the BAPT report on the development of hydraulic fracturing in Quebec. As a result, Quebec has effectively shut the door on this type of energy development. The purpose of the proposed project is to examine the reasons why this difference in perception may exist and the specific issues of concern through content analysis. Through this content analysis, recommendations are provided on appropriate stakeholder relations strategies using existing frameworks.
