OTTAWA, ONT — Canada’s natural resources minister says the continuing operation of the Line 5 oil pipeline is “non-negotiable.”
Jonathan Wilkinson threw the government’s support behind the Enbridge project as Opposition M-Ps in the Commons seized on media reports that the controversial cross-border pipeline is facing yet another court challenge.
An Indigenous band in Wisconsin is asking a judge to shut down the pipeline, saying Enbridge no longer has the right to operate on its territory.
Wilkinson says he will continue to raise the matter in discussions with his U-S counterparts.
