OTTAWA — A former Enbridge executive has been appointed to head a committee that will advise the federal government as it consults with Indigenous communities that want a financial stake in the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion.

Finance Minister Bill Morneau says Linda Coady will lead a group of experts that will help the government during the engagement process.

Coady was chief sustainability officer for Calgary-based Enbridge Inc. and was the former co-chair of the government’s Generation Energy Council.

Prior to that, Coady held executive roles with the Vancouver Organizing Committee for the 2010 Winter Olympics (as vice-president of sustainability), for the World Wildlife Fund Canada and for Weyerhaeuser.

The federal government says a number of Indigenous communities have expressed interest in participating economically in Trans Mountain through equity and revenue sharing.
