Northern Gateway Pipeline |
A quote from this article: “The three-justice panel concluded that the Canadian Conservative government failed in its duty to consult First Nations prior to issuing a cabinet order approving the $7.9-billion pipeline that would deliver 525,000 barrels a day of oil sands crude to the West Coast for export to Pacific markets.”
