First Nations voice concerns over proposed pipeline – Winnipeg Sun
OTTAWA — Alberta Indigenous Affairs Minister Rajan Sawhney says vocal opposition from some Indigenous groups won’t affect her government’s timeline for proposing a new West Coast pipeline to Ottawa by mid-2026.
In fact, she says that the real work of engaging with the First Nations along the pipeline’s route will start in earnest after the application is submitted to the federal government’s Major Projects Office in May.
“Actual true consultation with Indigenous communities is not going to begin until we put our application in,” Sawhney said.
