In regard to indigenous leadership, let me point out this quote: “I am happy the Prime Minister, the Finance Minister...are delivering on their promise that the [Kinder Morgan] Expansion Project will be built, and that construction will get underway this summer. This is good news for First Nations & all Canadians.” That is Ernie Crey, Chief of Cheam First Nation.
