From the interview with Prime Minister Trudeau of Canada:

The prime minister, elected to a stunning majority in October, also said that while community consultation was vital, Aboriginal groups did not have a veto over pipeline development.  

Prime Ministers come and go, about every four to eight years. Aboriginals are called "aboriginals" for a reason.
