“The Prime Minister rushed the Pacific link project with only two months of talks, and made different promises to different First Nations. I want him to answer whether he will require agreement from all 129 First Nations before he approves the pipeline.”
“Madam Speaker, this is exactly what the Prime Minister claimed, that he provided full, meaningful consultation with indigenous peoples, and he has made different promises to different First Nations. Is he seeking consensus or following UNDRIP commitments while fast-tracking the Pacific link major project designation with only two months of consultation? Will the Prime Minister only approve the pipeline if all the 129-plus nations provide consent?”
