Globe says Ottawa bets flexibility will help Enbridge

2014-07-29 06:57 ET - In the News

The Globe and Mail reports in its Tuesday edition that the Tory government is launching more flexible options for aboriginal treaty talks. The Globe's Bill Curry and Kathryn Carlson write that Ottawa is striving to give its stagnant British Columbia treaty process a boost by negotiating smaller, incremental treaties where possible and signing deals with aboriginal groups outside the formal treaty process. The plans are in response to recommendations in a November, 2013, report from Douglas Eyford. He called for better relations between governments and aboriginals in order to build the trust needed to reach agreement on resource development. However, The Globe says trust is in short supply. It says the Harper government has inspired resentment over its approach to resource development. Queen's University community relations expert Anne Johnson says Ottawa appears to be redoubling its efforts to persuade first nations people they would benefit from resource projects such as Enbridge's Northern Gateway pipeline to the B.C. coast. She says: "It's a step forward. But I think the government is looking at it through their own lens, which is that development is the highest good."
