A federal court decision to suspend the Trans Mountain Pipeline is a victory for Indigenous rights and the rule of law.
That’s the feeling of Tim Gray from the group Environmental Defence.
He says last week’s ruling shows the National Energy Board has to do its due diligence when evaluating pipeline projects.
Gray says it’s ridiculous that the NEB did not take into account the environmental impact of increased tanker traffic when agreeing to support the project.
The ruling also found the Canadian Government did not take into account the concerns of First Nations groups.
