Coastal First Nations Reaffirm Opposition to Enbridge Pipeline and Continued Ban on Oil Tankers on the Coast
(firmenpresse) - VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 11/23/11 -- "The Coastal First Nations categorically oppose Enbridge's Northern Gateway Project," says Art Sterritt.
Sterritt, the executive director of Coastal First Nations, added that "We unequivocally maintain our ban on oil tankers on the coast."
It was Mr. Daniels, of Enbridge, who spoke of wanting a fresh start with the Coastal First Nation.
Sterritt, on behalf of the board, told Daniels that a fresh start from the Coastal First Nations perspective meant having Enbridge ask the Joint Review Panel (JRP) to stand down. "The Joint Review Process is seen by the Coastal First Nations not as objective, rather as a process that advances the Enbridge Project."
Subsequently the Coastal First Nations has been informed that Enbridge is not prepared to ask the JRP to stand down or reveal who the other proponents are, he said.
In August of 2009, Enbridge stated that the proposed project would not go ahead if First Nations communities opposed it, said Sterritt. "None of our communities support the project. Nor do any First Nations along the pipeline route."
"Why would we support a proposal that would put our rivers, oceans and lifesource at risk?" Sterritt said. "It's time Pat Daniels and Enbridge take the correct action and give us the fresh start they promised. It's time to shut down the Joint Review Process and the Northern Gateway project."
