After five years of study an environmental and socioeconomic Joint Review Panel for the Mackenzie Gas Project (MGP) cleared the regulatory path toward a possible go-ahead for the mega-pipeline to tap far North reserves, rejecting environmentalists arguments to dump the whole project and coming up with a suggested compromise in the decades-long land claims battle with the Canadian aboriginal Deh Cho Dene Nation. The panel’s recommendation that the National Energy Board (NEB) approve the project sets the stage for about nine months of consideration by that agency.
