Native views - on Orenda | get hearing _ While. ‘Terrace, mayor Jack Talsira | was doing some arm- twisting in Victoria about appro- -val_ for the Orenda: pulp and paper. ‘project near ‘Terface, native interests in the area have finally gotten a hearing, from the . government © on their concerns. about the development, — — On Feb. 7 officials from the provincial. and federal govern- . ment ‘met with, ‘Tepresentatives | ‘by Gordon Hanson, an. NDP ‘from the Tsimshian Tribal Coun- cil and the Haisla: Nation in ' Prince Rupert to hear the native perspective on the: construction of the groundwood pulp and paper plant on. their territories. Tsimshian Tribal Council execu-. tive director Art Sterritt said after the meeting, "The new government appears to be more. responsive. Time will tell, but, Tm optimistic." ~The Tsimshian expressed frustration during the Major - Project Review Process involv- ing Orenda’s proposal Jast year. .. - Although they had strong mis- development might delay the givings about the possible envi- ronmental impact of building a. large mill in ‘the vicinity of ‘Lakelse Lake, they didn’t have the resources to do an iridepen- dent assessment, Request to the provincial government for ‘a. grant to do the assessment and a seat on the MPRP steering com- mittee were denied, and Sterritt. ‘gaid at the time the Tsimshian would do everything in their power to oppose the. project if they weren’t given an opportun- ‘ity to be invoived in the deci- - sion. - Sterritt says the assessmeni is : still the. main issue,,. But ‘he seemed more ‘confident of native involvement after. the : Prince Rupert meeting. "They're mov- ing fairly fast on First. Nations policy," he said of the NDP’ the Orenda . government. On project, he commented, "If we’te involved, that’s different. We're not opposed t to development. * The hearing was organized MLA during the party’s opposi- tion years who was native affairs critic prior to dropping out of “politics in the last election. ‘Skeena MLA Helmut Giesbrecht ‘said yesterday Hanson is work- | ing under contract for the Minis- ‘try of Native Affairs and will be filing a report on the. Prince Rupert hearing with the Major - ~ Project review Process steering committee, the body i in charge of making recommendations to Cabinet on the Orenda project. a When asked how much this submission to Cabinet, Gies- brecht was unwilling to specu- ‘late, but he noted that, despite the urgency felt in many quar- ters for the project to go ahead, the proposed location was changed just last fall and the present government has been in office only three. months. "It’s no secret that we think we've inherited a substantially flawed process," Giesbrecht said, refer- ring to the MPRP. He added, however, that the situation "looks good" for the project provided the proponents answer any concerns brought forward by the steering committee. se Be all Ge ES ai Fe OF AR talon le A A le Pareles ae prone re an ali eel a er ae serra nie a a — Fo pn Ses acca BRR NE aa nal ale Lele ee rl Wie oy ea ce aia
