This is a serious issue when it comes to Indigenous self-determination. There's not one Indigenous representative that speaks for every band affected by a project like this. The Nisga'a are elated by investment in the community, other neighbouring nations are fully against any intrusion of a pipeline. I think a solution will need to be settled before we start building this.
Most of the point of C-5 is that it will be that Texas shell company's money spent and not the government, whereas government gets its share of taxes and royalties. BC had better made sure it pencils out for them in scenarios where LNG prices are high, low or negative, and not subsidize this project if it doesn't.
