A group called "The Nobel Women's Initiative" is warning against pipeline expansion, and a federal treaty with China.
Chair and Nobel Peace Prize winner Jody Williams says the impending investment treaty between Canada and China expected to be pushed through in November causes her great concern in relation to the proposed Northern Gateway Pipeline.
Her worries:
"That China will have rights over what happens in the tar sands, will have rights over what happens along the pipeline. If people were to rise up against it and stop it you would be liable for lost profits".
Williams adds that agreement could tie the province's hands,
Hampering BC's ability to address environmental concerns and strike a fair deal with Enbridge.
Williams says Premier Christy Clark has refused to meet with the delegation.
The delegation found the majority of community members they spoke with along pipeline route do not support the project.
