Globe says Enbridge rival sees natives turn to courts

2016-12-05 06:23 ET - In the News

The Globe and Mail reports in its Monday edition that when it comes to resource development and first nations in Canada, it is usually not over until the Supreme Court sings. The Globe's Shawn McCarthy writes that aboriginal communities in British Columbia are turning to the courts in hopes of succeeding where they failed with the Liberal government to block Enbridge rival Kinder Morgan's $6.8-billion Trans Mountain pipeline project. Kinder and the government insist they are confident that the National Energy Board's review and Ottawa's broader consultation process will withstand court challenges. However, first nations leaders and some lawyers say there are plenty of grounds to argue the Crown did not live up to its constitutional responsibility to consult and accommodate indigenous communities. Several B.C. first nations have applications pending before the federal court to quash the NEB's report recommending approval of Trans Mountain, and now they are reviewing their legal options regarding the federal cabinet decision itself and have until the end of this month to challenge it. Tsleil-Waututh First Nation director Reuben George says, "There are multiple directions we can go along the legal routes."
