Panel Report: Doug Eyford

Doug Eyford: Doug Eyford was appointed in March, in the midst of tense federal review hearings for Enbridge's proposed Northern Gateway pipeline through British Columbia. With a federal review panel report expected within the coming weeks -- if not days -- the report released Thursday was blunt, according to CTV. The report highlighted the economic opportunities and hurdles for aboriginal communities in energy development in oil and gas and VANCOUVER -- The federal government must build trust with First Nations communities and address issues outside of billion-dollar projects if they hope to forge ahead with energy developments, says a report from Ottawa's special envoy dispatched to help resolve an impasse over major oil and gas developments in the West. "There has not been a constructive dialogue about energy projects," Eyford wrote. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
