Gordon Christie, UBC’s Indigenous legal studies director, spoke to the Vancouver Sun about how court challenges by First Nations could slow down Kinder Morgan’s $6.8-billion Trans Mountain pipeline expansion down but will likely not thwart the project.
“It could slow things down – that’s really the extent of it,” Christie said of the First Nation legal challenges. “The kinds of arguments they are making, they don’t have, at this point, what counts as a veto.”
The story also appeared in the Montreal Gazette.
