Major Projects CEO Dawn Farrell told First Nations in B. C. on Wednesday that the frustrations expressed over a lack of consultation on the Pacific Link pipeline made her feel like Canada is “never going to work,” but her office is determined to try to be better.
Farrell was addressing the B. C. Assembly of First Nations at its annual general meeting in Vancouver.

The standard, they say, should include “minimum procedural protections,” including protected timelines for consultations before decisions are made. Story continues below advertisement
