Résumé
Prince was a license holding trapper and member of the Sucker Creek Indian Band. Talisman Energy was proposing to build a pipeline through lands used by Prince for trapping, although not on Band lands. Prince argued that the pipeline would impact both his ability to trap, as well as the exercise of his historically protected aboriginal right to trap. The Board denied him standing, and the Court of Appeal agreed, saying that the potential impact was mostly speculative.
