Representatives from LNG Canada, TransCanada, and the Haisla Nation all agree that trust was a key in getting the LNG Canada project off the ground.
According to all three parties, the formation of trust is one of the key boundaries that must be overcome when working with Indigenous communities.
Haisla Chief Councillor Crystal Smith says that a rough history with industry makes it difficult for some Nations to trust major corporations.
Senior VP for Trans Canada, Tracy Robinson, says that industry relationships, like any other, take time and care to develop.
Both made their comments as part of a panel on LNG Canada at the Haisla LNG Conference in Kitimat.
