TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide an analysis of existing disclosure regimes in the four Canadian provinces where fracking is actively taking place: Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba and Saskatchewan, and assess the effectiveness of these disclosure practices, benchmarked against current theoretical and empirical scientific knowledge.
