Sask. NDP argue recent oil spill highlights need for more pipeline inspections

The NDP is largely putting the blame for the oil spill on the Ocean Man First Nation Friday firmly at the feet of government.

Over 200,000 litres leaked onto low-lying agricultural land on the First Nation and was caught in an icy slough.

The opposition has long argued the government has not done enough to test and inspect pipelines.

“It just adds to some of that concern about inspections and about the safety under this government in terms of how well the pipelines are being inspected,” Regina MLA Carla Beck maintained.
