provincial government and Haisla First Nation struck a deal Friday that they

In announcing the deal - a framework agreement that enables the Haisla to either purchase or lease a site on Crown land already identified as ideal for an LNG terminal - Haisla chief councillor Ellis Ross said it opens the door to Haisla involvement in future LNG development. Two major terminals have already been announced at Kitimat.
"It is our intent to responsibly develop projects and get them underway so that B.C. and Canada can take advantage of the LNG window that is now in front of us," Ross said at a news conference where he was joined by Energy Minister Rich Cole-man and Aboriginal Relations Minister Ida Chong.
