Cold Lake First Nations seeks judicial review of Pacific Link pipeline designation

The Cold Lake First Nations has filed an application for judicial review in Federal Court to challenge the federal government's decision to designate the Pacific Link pipeline as a project in the national interest. The legal action seeks to contest the regulatory classification of the pipeline project.

This filing marks a formal escalation in the opposition to the pipeline's status. By seeking a judicial review, the First Nations are asking the court to evaluate the legality and process behind the national interest designation, which serves as a key component in the project's regulatory approval framework.
