Alberta Indigenous Relations Minister Rajan Sawhney
Alberta Indigenous Affairs Minister Rajan Sawhney asserts that opposition from some Indigenous groups will not hinder the timeline for proposing a new West Coast pipeline to Ottawa by mid-2026. She emphasizes that true consultations with affected First Nations will begin after the May application to the federal Major Projects Office. Despite facing resistance, Sawhney notes that many communities express a desire to be heard directly. She plans to address safety concerns and misconceptions about oil movement as she continues her outreach efforts.
