Thanks for acknowledging that you heard the thousands of people that are outraged over coal mines @sonyasavage but we weren't asking for you to cancel a fraction of the leases in Cat 2 lands... we were asking for you to reinstate Lougheed's Coal Policy that protected Cat 2 lands
If rescinding the policy was simply updating and modernizing the Coal policy without removing protections, as @JasonNixonAB has claimed, then why not make the policy clear. Instead of, virtually no open pit strip mines in Category 2 lands... just say there will be none!
Sure, there might be redundant policies that will still prevent the coal mine application from making it through the regulatory process but why let them apply?
Why will this change, "encourage substantial new investment"?
Are you just catfishing Coal companies now?

If our Rocky Mountains and Foothills are still protected from open-pit Coal Mines, why are we tying up the regulator with applications that have no chance of being approved?
