Our Premier says his government is preparing legislation that would allow the government to restrict the flow of oil and gas products to BC. The Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations says, not so fast. The FSIN says any legislation like that needs to go through the consultation process with First Nations in this province. Chief Bobby Cameron says this is a classic case of the province’s failure to consult. According to Cameron, “When the province drafts legislation in any way related to resource development, it must consult First Nations and accommodate their interests.”
The government of Alberta has already announced legislation to restrict the flow of oil and gas products to BC. John Horgan’s government there continues to strongly oppose the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project that has already received Federal Government approval.
