B. C. Premier Gordon Campbell reveals to be in favor of altering the protocols outlining how the public should be made cognizant about environmental incidents.

Campbell's revelations emerged rising towards an oil and gas leak a Burnaby, B. C., refinery owned by Chevron Canada Ltd. A mix of gas, oil and diesel is revealed to spread gradually into Burrard Inlet from the refinery, nearly a month after the leak was first found.

Campbell claimed that Chevron followed existing protocols in a view to deal with spills and other incidents that could hamper the environment; however, the Company has witnessed severe rebuke from residents and community leaders for waiting a month before informing the public about the seepage.

Chevron noted regulators and politicians of the issue last month, however, failed to address the public about the matter, although Mr. Lord posted that the Company initiated a community advisory panel on the situation last week.

The amount of material involved is believed to be less than 50 liters. Public disclosure is mandatory for spills of 100 liters or more.

"If we can improve how we do … these processes and protocols in the future, we're glad to look at that," Campbell quoted.
