This is very typical of Quebec politics. They have to do it their way and their way is not always congruent with approriate science...rather French emotion and misplaced nationalism (ie seperatism). They don't like l'anglais playing in their backyard and especially don't like l'anglais telling them how to do things. Although i am heavy into QEC I would not be surprised to see the fracturing issue placed on the shelf for a few more years.

Quebec is in no hurry when the rest of Canada is supporting its social network.
