Dozens of First Nations leaders are meeting to discuss a plan that could make them the next owners of the controversial Trans Mountain pipeline. Indigenous leaders will debate which financial model is ideal if they are able to purchase the pipeline project, which would boost the amount of oilsands bitumen shipped from Alberta to the B.C. coast. The Indian Resource Council (IRC) is optimistic it will be able to present a proposal to Ottawa to acquire the pipeline project in the coming months. The IRC represents 134 First Nations that have oil and gas resources on their land.
