The Globe and Mail reports in its Tuesday, Jan. 13, edition that Prime Minister Mark Carney will meet with Coastal first nations in British Columbia on Tuesday to discuss natural resource developments ahead of an overseas trip. The Globe's Stephanie Levitz and Justine Hunter write that the meeting in Prince Rupert comes after frustration from B.C. first nations last year over a new energy accord between Alberta and Ottawa, which may enable a new oil pipeline to the West Coast and lift the tanker ban. A senior government source says Mr. Carney expects to cover several subjects in Tuesday's meeting, including how indigenous communities can be partners in major projects. After the meeting, Mr. Carney will travel to China, Qatar and Switzerland as part of his strategy to diversify Canada's export markets and bring new investment to the country as the Canada-U.S. relationship falters. Fast-tracking natural resource development within Canada is also part of that strategy. Last year, Mr. Carney's government launched a new approach to the sector. It included setting up a Major Projects Office charged with speeding along significant developments. Thirteen projects have already been referred, including several in B.C.
