Court clears way for major B.C. mine-drilling project on First Nations lands

B.C.’s highest court has cleared the way for an exploratory drilling program for a mine on First Nations land near Williams Lake.

The federal government, however, found that the mine would have significant adverse environmental impacts on fish and fish habitat, grizzly bears and navigation, and rejected the project. Taseko received further approvals from the province to do an exploratory drilling project with the government’s senior inspector of mines giving a green light to a program in July 2017.

In his reasons for judgment, B.C. Court of Appeal Justice Richard Goepel found that the crux of the dispute was that the parties were not able to reconcile their differences because of an honest but fundamental disagreement over whether the project should proceed.

About time. That said I think First Nations people should negotiate for a % of all resource industry profits. Trudeau gives billions to people that despise us while natives don’t have potable water and wounded veterans ignored.

Is this the first Canadian PM possibly involved in corruption? That’s odd 65% of People in BC support the pipelines - so why cater to the vocal minority? Because that’s the only way that idiot Horrigan could form a government was an alliance with the insane Greens...
