Quote:
The B.C. Supreme court has ruled that the province "has breached the honour of the Crown by failing to consult" with the Gitga'at and other Coastal First Nations on the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline.
In 2014, the federal government approved the controversial pipeline that would bring Alberta oil to B.C.'s north coast.
It didn't have to pass a provincial environmental assessment, because of a streamlined process that the B.C. Liberals said in 2010 would reduce "byzantine bureaucratic practices."
