On June 4, 2013, the citizen group "Non au Pétrole et au Gaz au Québec" realizing that Anticosti was still unprotected against fracking, released another petition, also one of the largest in Quebec history, with 26,000 signatures against fracking, exploration and exploitation of oil and gas on Anticosti Island asking for a moratorium and an environmental evaluation. Geological engineer Marc Durand gave a presentation at a conference explaining that a minimum of 12,000 wells would be necessary for this exploitation and would put Quebec in debt, considering the 12 million dollar cost of one of these wells. A year later, when Pauline Marois announced an investment of 115 million dollars for Petrolia to continue the exploration, the same petition increased up to 36,000 signatures. The government has not started a BAPE (environmental evaluation) specific for Anticosti.
