VICTORIA–Premier John Horgan appointed a liaison between the Province and the Wet’suwet’en Hereditary Chiefs.

Nathan Cullen was a former member of parliament for the Skeena-Bulkley Valley, and has been tasked with the job of intermediary between the two, providing fact-finding, facilitation and analysis in order to come to a resolution.

“I’m pleased all parties have agreed to the appointment of a liaison,” Premier Horgan said. “Nathan has agreed to act as an intermediary in the hopes of finding a solution to this challenging dispute.”

In the latest statement from Coastal GasLink President, David Pfeiffer, says he is pleased with the appointment, “(we) remain hopeful that the Chiefs will meet with Coastal GasLink and find a peaceful resolution to the current situation.”
