Indigenous groups given just 2 months to consult on Pacific Link pipeline designation

Indigenous groups were given only two months to consult on whether the new Pacific Link oil pipeline should be considered a national priority, which is a short time for such a decision. Some Indigenous leaders felt this wasn't enough time and they didn't get enough information. On the other hand, a government official, Mark Carney, has decided the pipeline is in the national interest, meaning it will get approved faster. This decision aims to speed up the building of the pipeline to the West Coast. The coverage highlights a tension between Indigenous consultation needs and the government's push to advance the project.
