Carney’s 15% Trans Mountain Offer to Canada’s Indigenous Leaders Draws Criticism
The federal government is offering Indigenous communities a 15% stake in the Trans Mountain pipeline system, reviving a plan that stalled under the previous administration. Some Indigenous leaders say the offer falls short, with calls for stakes of 30% to 50% to provide greater economic benefits and influence over the pipeline’s environmental oversight. The government calls the proposal a meaningful offer, while other Indigenous leaders view the 15% stake as a useful starting point that could provide communities with revenue and greater control.
