WASHINGTON- A prominent First Nations group in Ontario is accusing the federal government of putting the oil and gas industry ahead of protecting the Great Lakes.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer<\/p><\/div>\n

The Anishinabek Nation says it is disappointed that Ottawa opposes the shutdown of Enbridge’s Line 5 pipeline in Michigan.<\/p>\n

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer says the cross-border pipeline, which has been in operation since 1953, is a threat to the Great Lakes and wants it shut down by Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The two sides are engaged in court-ordered negotiations and scheduled to meet for a third time on May 18, six days after Whitmer’s deadline.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Grand Council Chief Glen Hare<\/p><\/div>\n

Grand Council Chief Glen Hare says Ottawa is ignoring the numerous treaties Canada has signed with the 39 First Nations his group represents.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Opponents say the pipeline crosses the ecologically sensitive Straits of Mackinac<\/p><\/div>\n

Proponents say the pipeline, which crosses the ecologically sensitive Straits of Mackinac, is a vital source of energy and jobs for Michigan and Ohio, as well as Ontario and Quebec.<\/p>\n

“It is upsetting to see that the government of Canada will pick and choose which treaties to uphold based on convenience and profit,” Hare said in a statement.<\/p>\n

“Should anything that’s being transported in these 67-year-old pipelines get into the Great Lakes, it would have devastating effects and irreparable consequences.”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Federal officials and Enbridge executives point to the pipeline’s unblemished record, and say a $500-million plan to build a tunnel for it beneath the straits would make it even safer.<\/p>\n
