Interview: Danielle Smith explains why she trusts Mark Carney

At the Western Premiers’ meeting, B.C.’s Eby and Manitoba’s Kinew pressed her on the duty to consult First Nations on the pipeline. Smith agrees on that point: “On a major project like a pipeline to the West Coast, absolutely, we have a duty to consult — and beyond that, we think we have a duty to provide equity ownership so the Nations can benefit from development. There’s no dispute, for me, for proponents, on that.”
