Construction on a controversial gas pipeline project in British Columbia's northern Interior has been suspended while the company investigates claims that Indigenous artifacts were found on a work site. In a written statement, the company said Friday it has voluntarily suspended work at the site while it investigates the claims. The Unist'ot'en say the company didn't conduct an adequate archeological impact assessment during the permitting process. Spice said the Unist'ot'en want the company to agree to cease work until a full assessment is conducted. In early January, RCMP and Wet'suwet'en leaders reached a tentative deal to let gas company workers through.
