Room 140, HNES
The controversies over Transcanada’s proposed Canada-US Keystone XL, Enbridge’s Alberta to BC Northern Gateway and the proposal to ‘reverse’ the Quebec-Ontario section of the Line 9 pipeline have stimulated a new national debate over energy. This new debate invokes questions about regulatory independence of the National Energy Board, environmental justice, and the meaning of the ‘duty of consult’ in the context of indigenous resistance. The seminar will provide legal, policy and political perspectives on these debates.
All are welcome. A light lunch will be provided.
