Site C, Kinder Morgan topics of interest for Carrier Sekani

The Carrier Sekani Tribal Council is looking forward to working with the  BC NDP and the Greens following their agreement this week.

Tribal Chief Terry Teegee says two major topics are high on both parties priority list.

“Both the Green Party and the NDP have stated they will recognize the provisions in the United Nations Declaration for the Right of Indigenous Peoples and they have both committed to implementing the recommendations from The Truth and Reconciliation Commission.”

Teegee believes their relationship with the BC Liberals began to sour when talking about the United Nations Declaration for the Right of Indigenous Peoples as well as the provisions of Free consent.

Teegee is looking forward to what both parties come up with on the Site C dam as well as another major project within the province’s resource sector.
