The Federal Court of Appeal is upholding the federal government’s decision to approve the Bay du Nord offshore oil project. The ruling comes after years of bouncing around Canada’s courts. Lawyers for Sierra Club Canada, Equiterre and Mi'gmawe'l Tplu'taqnn Incorporated (MTI) challenged then-environment and climate change minister Steven Guilbeault’s 2022 approval of the project. That initial challenge was dismissed by a federal court in June 2023, a decision they then appealed.
