CALGARY, Alberta (Reuters) – Canada’s Environment Minister on Wednesday warned Suncor Energy that the environmental impact of a proposed extension to its oil sands base mine, as it currently stands, would be “unacceptable.”
Calgary-based Suncor has been granted a nine-month extension to a deadline to submit an impact statement for the proposed project near Fort McMurray in northern Alberta.
