NDP delays and denies when smoked out over gas well flaringQuote:
The belated backdown is doubly embarrassing because it involved a promise that was central to the party's climate action plan as well as its claim of a fully costed budget.
The controversy originated April 9 when party leader Carole James released her 2009 election platform. Included was a vow to "end routine gas well flaring" -- the practice of burning off unwanted or excess gas at the wellhead.
