KwiSiqithi sonke saseTurtle abantu bayaphakama ukubonisa ukuba asizukubuya umva de kube iprojekthi yombhobho weCoastal Gaslink kunye neRCMP iwushiye umhlaba waseWet'suwet'en.

I-TC Energy yakha i-Coastal GasLink, umbhobho we-6.6 yeebhiliyoni zeedola ezingama-670 km oza kuthutha irhasi eqhekekileyo kumntla-mpuma BC ukuya kwitheminali ye-LNG yeebhiliyoni ezingama-40 kuNxweme oluMantla lweBC.
