A big hurdle for Enbridge could be avoided as they continue to fight for approval of the Northern Gateway Pipeline project.
First Nations groups opposing the pipeline are offering to lift their opposition on one condition.
The Coastal First Nations told an Enbridge executive they want the Joint Review Panel process delayed so negotiations can resume between the two sides.
According to the Globe and Mail, a truce with the group representing about a dozen first nations would speed-up the approval process for the pipeline travelling to the west coast from the oil sands.
