A panel of judges reserved its decision this week after hearing arguments from four indigenous groups that the Canadian government had failed to properly consult them on expanding its oil pipeline. Their concerns include possible oil spills and threats to endangered southern resident killer whales. Lawyers for the Canadian government has asked the Federal Court of Appeal to dismiss the legal challenge as they feel the consultations where reasonable, adequate and fair and not to quash the entire project again.
