As mentioned previously by the other presenter, it depends on how processes are going to be operationalized. I agree with her that a balance needs to be had with national interests versus local interests, and that balance is important. The most legally grounded opposition to Kinder Morgan, energy east, and the northern gateway is likely from indigenous communities. They can keep things in the court for years or decades. The previous government saw how this was operationalized by indigenous communities.
If we don't approach UNDRIP and the other obligations that the government has taken on with regard to indigenous people and reconciliation in a way that ensures a community-based process of priorities in creating and supporting community-based decision-making structures, they'll continue to get fractured visions within communities on how research projects are supposed to go forward, they'll continue to get regional first nations not agreeing on whether or not these things should go through their different territories, and these projects won't move forward.
