TSLEIL-WAUTUTH FIRST NATION, B.C. — The Destiny condo development sits high above Burrard Inlet east of Downtown Vancouver.

Nation says unlawful conduct of National Energy Board, including one-sided cross-examination process, could derail pipeline review

NORTH VANCOUVER, B.C. and COAST SALISH TERRITORY; May 2, 2014 – Today, the Tsleil-Waututh Nation, the “People of the Inlet”, is launching a legal challenge of the National Energy Board’s (NEB) review of the Kinder Morgan Trans Mountain pipeline and tanker project. The Nation says that serious legal errors made by the federal Crown and NEB have led to a flawed and unlawful review process that puts Burrard Inlet and all peoples who live here at risk.
