Potential Trans Mountain pipeline investor wants Ottawa to assume construction risk GlobeBC

Delbert Wapass, executive chairman of the Project Reconciliation group and former chief of Thunderchild First Nation, has formed a company called Project Reconciliation to buy a 51 per cent stake in Trans Mountain Pipeline on behalf of First Nations.A First Nations-led group that wants to buy a 51-per-cent stake in Ottawa’s Trans Mountain oil pipeline says the federal government will need to underwrite the construction risk of the $9-billion expansion project.

A former chief of the Tk’emlups First Nation in Kamloops, Mr. Gottfriedson told reporters in Victoria on Wednesday the proposal would provide annual financial benefits to participating Indigenous communities, and build a “sovereign wealth fund” that will invest in green, low-carbon infrastructure projects.

Construction has been stalled since last summer, when the Federal Court of Appeal quashed the original approval, partly on the basis that Ottawa failed to adequately consult affected First Nations. International investors want fossil-fuel companies to disclose long-term risks to their operations and value from climate change and the global effort to reduce emissions.
