The newspaper article adds, "Motivated by concerns over Northern Gateway's potential to damage the native territory through which it runs, or from the tanker fleet that will flood into Kitimat harbour once the pipeline is completed, First Nations have formed the core of resistance to the pipeline thus far. … Lengthy, expensive lawsuits against the National Energy Board process, delays in construction due to protests or blockades and the risk to Enbridge's reputation, should the company remain unable to address the concerns of the more than 80 indigenous groups involved in the project, all represent legitimate causes for investor concern. While those concerns have yet to translate into a share price slip, Enbridge continues to forge ahead with its goal of gaining regulatory approval by early next year amid mounting opposition."
