Peter Ballantyne Cree Nation在萨斯喀彻温的国王法庭发起司法复审, 质疑省政府批准惠勒河铀项目, The Peter Ballantyne Cree Nation has launched a judicial review in Saskatchewan’s Court of King’s Bench, challenging the provincial government’s approval of the Wheeler River uranium project without fulfilling its constitutional duty to consult. 该国声称,早在2022年,它就提出了关切,但有意义的磋商直到2024年11月才开始,给了他们6个星期的时间,在没有专家经费的情况下审查数千个技术网页。 The Nation alleges it raised concerns as early as 2022, but meaningful consultation only began in November 2024, giving them just six weeks to review thousands of technical pages without funding for experts. 他们争辩说,这一进程是一次“事后邀请”,没有考虑他们的权利、所有权和传统的土地使用方式。 They argue the process was an “after-the-fact invitation” and failed to consider their rights, title, and traditional land use. 民革委虽然原则上不反对该项目,但表示缺乏早期参与会损害他们的权利,并威胁到文化和环境遗产。 While not opposing the project in principle, PBCN says the lack of early engagement undermines their rights and threatens cultural and environmental heritage. 案件被设定为长期的法律斗争。 The case is set for a prolonged legal battle.
