周四，冷湖原住民部落向联邦法院提交了司法审查申请，对渥太华将“太平洋连接”输油管道列为符合国家利益项目的决定提出异议。
Cold Lake First Nations filed an application for judicial review in Federal Court on Thursday, challenging Ottawa's decision to designate the Pacific Link pipeline as a project in the national interest.
上周，加拿大总理马克·卡尼与艾伯塔省省长丹妮尔·史密斯宣布，这条连接艾伯塔省与不列颠哥伦比亚省的输油管道项目将依据《建设加拿大法案》予以快速推进。其目标是于明年完成各项必要的审查与磋商程序，以便于今年9月动工建设。
Prime Minister Mark Carney and Alberta Premier Danielle Smith announced last week the pipeline from Alberta to British Columbia would be fast-tracked under the Building Canada Act. The goal is to complete the required reviews and consultations over the next year, so construction can begin next September.
冷湖原住民部落酋长凯尔西·贾科此前对加拿大通讯社表示，尽管该部落所在地正处油砂产区，但在该输油管道项目的相关磋商中却完全未被纳入其中。
Cold Lake First Nations Chief Kelsey Jacko previously told The Canadian Press his community was left out of consultations on the pipeline designation, despite the fact that his community is situated in the oilsands region.
在这份司法审查申请中，冷湖原住民部落的律师指出，这一决定违反了加拿大法律，也违背了王室应恪守的诚信义务。
In the application for judicial review, Cold Lake First Nations' lawyers said the designation breached Canadian law and is inconsistent with the honour of the Crown.
申请书中写道：“扩大油砂开采规模将对冷湖原住民部落成员依照《第6号条约》所享有的维持自身传统生活方式的权利产生严重负面影响。”
Water, toxic waste and opportunity: Indigenous leaders react to Carney's pipeline plan "Increasing oilsands production will have significant adverse effects on the ability of CLFN members to maintain their Luechogh Tue Denesuline way of life as promised by Treaty No. 6," the application said.
“加拿大政府始终未采取任何措施去了解或缓解油砂开发对该部落传统权利所产生的巨大累积性影响。”该部落还请求法院撤销将该项目列为符合国家利益项目的决定，并判定加拿大政府有义务就该输油管道项目与该部落展开磋商。
"Canada has made no effort to understand or mitigate the massive cumulative effects of oilsands development on CLFN's Luechogn Tue Denesuline treaty rights." West Coast oil pipeline becomes 1st project designated in national interest The First Nation is asking the court to quash the national interest designation and to declare that Canada has a duty to consult with the community on the pipeline.
此前，加拿大原住民大会曾对加拿大通讯社表示，在该项目被列为符合国家利益项目的过程中存在诸多问题；联邦政府似乎在未开展实质性磋商的情况下便预先确定了结果并批准了相关项目。
The Assembly of First Nations previously told The Canadian Press it had identified "many red flags" in the pipeline's national interest designation and says the federal government appears to be predetermining outcomes and approving projects in advance of meaningful consultations.
卡尼承诺，他推行的各项重大项目不会违背加拿大在《联合国原住民权利宣言》项下所承担的义务。
Carney promised his major projects agenda would not interfere with Canada's obligations under the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.
