Prime Minister Justin Trudeau reiterated his commitment to developing energy projects that keep environmental and First Nations concerns in mind as he continued his trip to Kamloops, B.C. Thursday.
During a visit to the new Industrial Training and Technology Centre at Thompson Rivers University, Trudeau faced further questions on his government’s response to the ongoing tensions in northern B.C. sparked by the RCMP’s enforcement of a court injunction at an anti-pipeline camp on Wet’suwet’en land Monday.
