[news] Deh Cho gov. Indians renew legal challenge to pipeline

[Resist!ca]

"Proponents of a $7-billion Arctic natural gas pipeline are worried legal manoeuvres by a northern aboriginal group could add a new layer of regulation and delay an already halting process. The Deh Cho First Nation, which claims land on 40 per cent of the pipeline's route, has reactivated a lawsuit calling for any pipeline approvals to be declared invalid, said Grand Chief Herb Norwegian. Talks on an out-of-court settlement have stalled and a big part of any deal would be a new permitting agency giving his group final control over development, he said."
