says it's starting a new reconciliation process with the Wet'suwet'en hereditary chiefs, who are at the centre of opposition to a natural gas pipeline in northern B.C. A joint statement Thursday said that the government and the Office of the Wet'suwet'en are undertaking a process focused on Wet'suwet'en title, rights, laws and traditional governance throughout their territory. It said the province and the Wet'suwet'en are committed to explore a path forward together that seeks to build trust over time and meaningfully advance reconciliation. The Wet'suwet'en hereditary chiefs oppose Coastal GasLink's plans to build a pipeline from northeastern B.C. RCMP enforce an injunction in Wet'suwet'en territory at a blockade protesting the Coastal GasLink LNG pipeline.
