Globe/CP say judges deciding fate of Enbridge's Gateway

2015-10-09 09:27 ET - In the News

The Globe and Mail reports in its Friday, Oct. 9, edition that the fate of the Enbridge's proposed Northern Gateway pipeline project is now in the hands of a trio of Federal Appeal Court judges who reserved their decision on whether to uphold or quash the government's approval of the project. A Canadian Press dispatch to The Globe reports that over six days of legal arguments in Vancouver, the court heard the government did not get aboriginal consent or consider the impact on the environment when it okayed the project, while proponents claimed a decision to overturn the pipeline approval would kill the project. First nations, environmental groups and a labour union launched the appeal. First nations lawyer Robert Janes says, "At its heart, the duty to fair consultation is a conversation to reach mutual understanding and the Crown simply failed to do that. ... What could have been used here was a bit more diplomacy rather than what I would say is the somewhat dishonourable approach that the Government of Canada took to dealing with the core issues of title and governance rights." Mr. Janes dismisses the suggestion that first nations' concerns could be addressed at a later date.
