Seems that some folks in Canada want to capture the benefits of their natural resources. Suit was filed in Supreme Court of Newfoundland back in February to attempt to force the decision-making panel to consider the economic effects of the proposed development. Hibernia was consider by some to be a boom-and-bust.

Best to all.
