Federal Court of Appeal proceedings to be simulcast at Iqaluit courthouse
The people of Clyde River, including Mayor Jerry Natanine, are only days away from heading to court to try to overturn a decision allowing for seismic testing in Baffin Bay and Davis Strait and supporters are gearing up to show they stand with the people of North Baffin.
The Federal Court of Appeal is set to hear the case April 20 in Toronto.
After hearing submissions from both sides and intervenors, a panel of three judges will eventually rule on whether to uphold a National Energy Board (NEB) decision to allow a consortium of companies to conduct a five-year seismic testing program off the east coast of Baffin Island to search for oil and gas reserves buried in the sea bed.
