B.C. First Nation expects further police action after court sides with natural gas company, chief says GlobeBC
A hereditary chief with the Wet’suwet’en First Nation says the community is expecting further police action after the British Columbia Supreme Court ruled in favour of a natural gas company that wants to build a pipeline through its territory.
The RCMP said in a statement that it respects the ruling and the judicial process, but it would not say if or when police would enforce the latest injunction. The company has said it signed agreements with all 20 elected First Nations councils along the path, however five hereditary chiefs of the Wet’suweten First Nation say the project has no authority without their consent.
Coastal GasLink will continue trying “to engage with any affected groups to ensure public safety while field crews continue to progress their critical activities,” it said.
