A Canadian company that's in the running to build a natural gas pipeline along the Alaska Highway says it won't get involved with land claims with First Nations along the proposed route, but will offer commercial benefits instead.
Making the remarks Thursday in Whitehorse, TransCanada Corp. vice-president Tony Palmer said the company would offer benefits, whether affected First Nations have settled their land claims or not.
