Natural Resources Minister Amarjeet Sohi will outline today the federal government's approach to Indigenous consultations for the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project.

CBC News will carry the minister's news conference live at the National Press Theatre in Ottawa starting at 9 a.m. ET.

It's the second announcement from Sohi laying out the Liberal government's strategy for proceeding after the Federal Court of Appeal quashed approval for the project, which would nearly triple the flow of oil from Alberta's oilsands to the West Coast.

Last month, the government announced it was giving the federal pipeline regulator, the National Energy Board, 22 weeks to review the project and consider its impact on the marine environment.

At the time, Sohi said word on new consultations with Indigenous people would come at a later date.

As that consultation is critical to advancing the project, he said he could not put a timeline on when construction could actually begin again.
