Statement 

February 4, 2020 

The Honourable Seamus O’Regan, Minister of Natural Resources, today issued the following statement regarding the decision by the Federal Court of Appeal to uphold the Order in Council approving the Trans Mountain Expansion project: 

The Government of Canada welcomes the decision of the Federal Court of Appeal (FCA). 

Today’s ruling affirms that the Government of Canada’s renewed consultations with Indigenous communities addressed the issues identified by the Federal Court of Appeal in its August 2018 decision. This was a responsibility the Government of Canada took very seriously, and it is work the government did in partnership with Indigenous communities. 

From the beginning, the Government of Canada worked with communities to shape the consultation process. Ministers engaged directly, project conditions were amended and accommodations were co-developed to respond to concerns raised. The result was the most comprehensive consultation ever undertaken for a major project in Canada’s history. 

The government approved the Trans Mountain Expansion Project because it is in the public interest. This project will unlock new global markets to boost the price of a valuable Canadian resource; help advance reconciliation with Indigenous peoples, including through economic opportunities; and generate revenue to help fund clean energy and climate solutions. 

Since the fall, construction of the project has already created thousands of good, well-paying jobs. Construction on both Spread 1 in the Greater Edmonton Region and Spread 2 in Yellowhead is underway. Work is ongoing at various pump stations, construction yards, and more. 

The Government of Canada is committed to a renewed relationship with Indigenous peoples, and it knows that consultations on major projects have a critical role to play in building that renewed relationship. Canada will continue to engage with Indigenous communities at each step of the project in the months and years to come.

今天,就联邦上诉法院维持政府批准横山输油管扩建项目(Trans Mountain Expansion密令的裁决,联邦自然资源部长西莫斯·奥雷根(Seamus ORegan阁下发表如下声明: 

加拿大联邦政府欢迎联邦上诉法院(FCA)的决定。 

今天的裁决确认,加拿大政府与原住民社区的重新咨询解决了联邦上诉法院在其20188月的裁决中指出的问题。这一重新咨询是加拿大政府非常重视的责任,也是政府与原住民社区携手合作而开展的工作。 

从一开始,加拿大联邦政府就与各地社区合作,制定了咨询程序。部长们直接参与,修改了项目条件,并根据所提出的关注共同制定了相关调整。结果是加拿大历史上对重大项目进行的最全面的咨询。 

政府批准了横山扩建项目,因为它符合公共利益。这一项目将开拓新的全球市场,提高加拿大宝贵资源的价格;帮助推进与原住民的和解,包括开辟经济机会;并创造营收以资助清洁能源和气候解决方案。 

自从去年秋季以来,这一项目的建设工程已经创造了数千个高薪的优质就业。大埃德蒙顿地区的Spread 1YellowheadSpread 2正在进行建设。各种泵站建造场等的工作正在进行中。 

加拿大政府致力于与原住民人民建立新的关系,政府知道有关重大项目的咨询磋商在建立这种新关系方面可发挥关键作用。在未来月和年中,加拿大将在项目的每个步骤中继续与原住民社区保持互动
