Nisga’a Nation says Alberta hasn’t consulted about possible pipeline routes in territory
The nation says leaked route plans could cross its territory and require permission, while Alberta has until July 1 to file a proposal.
- The Nisga'a Nation says it has not been contacted by Alberta regarding potential pipeline routes despite reports of leaked documents proposing paths through its territory.
- Federal Natural Resources Minister Tim Hodgson said Wednesday the government will not address proposals until Alberta submits them officially, while Alberta Indigenous Relations Minister Rajan Sawhney stated the province is still engaging partners.
- On Tuesday, Premier David Eby opposed any plan requiring lifting the ban on heavy oil tankers, stating no pipeline bringing diluted bitumen will proceed if it necessitates ending existing tanker protections.
- Eby warned against endangering roughly $40 to $50 billion in liquefied natural gas projects, criticizing the speculative project from a province with a premier actively threatening to leave confederation.
- Prioritizing its own gas projects, the Nisga'a remains focused on the Ksi Lisims export terminal and the Prince Rupert Gas Transmission line, asserting these developments align with its values and long-term objectives.
