The Liberal government is changing the way Canada reviews pipelines and other resource projects, in a revamped process that considers future greenhouse gas emissions.
Several First Nations groups, as well as the mayor of Burnaby, BC, have accused the federal government of being captured by the oil industry.
The new review process seeks to promote public transparency and provides funding for First Nations consultations.
This week黑料社檚 announcement was described as a 黑料社渢ransition step黑料社 before the Liberals establish a permanent set of rules.
In a joint statement, First Nations leaders from BC, Manitoba and Quebec slammed the reforms to the resource projects review process, saying Ottawa needs to be prepared tougher when it comes to approving projects that cross First Nations territory.
Noting that they were not consulted about five new principles, the First Nations chiefs said that they remained opposed to current plans for pipeline expansion.
