Coastal GasLink has released a statement following the conclusion of talks between Wet’suwet’en Hereditary Chiefs and representitives of the federal and provincial governments.
“Coastal GasLink appreciates the dialogue that has occurred over the past several days and the fact that significant progress has been made to address the concerns of the Wet’suwet’en Hereditary Chiefs,” reads the statement from CGL President David Pfeiffer released Sunday.
Pfeiffer’s statement goes on to say that Coastal GasLink “appreciates that a path has been identified to address significant issues of Aboriginal Title and Rights…while recognizing that Coastal GasLink is fully permitted and remains on track for a 2023 in service date”.
The company says it will resume construction activities in the Morice River area Monday, saying it will abide by key terms of the previous access protocol.
Pfeiffer says CGL is encouraged by a statement from Chief Woos that he is open to dialogue and says the company will be reaching out in the coming days with the hope of resolving outstanding issues with representitives of Dark House and the Office of the Wet’suwet’en.
