A coalition of Canadian First Nations, environmentalists and companies including Suncor Energy (NYSE:SU) calls for industry and government to seek aboriginal consent when working with indigenous groups.

The report from the Boreal Leadership Council says Canada's principle of free, prior and informed consent - the right of native people to offer or withhold consent to development that might impact their territories - is crucial to ensuring the country's vast natural resources can be extracted.

Disputes with First Nations groups have contributed to delays on some major energy infrastructure projects, such as Enbridge's (NYSE:ENB) Northern Gateway pipeline to Canada's Pacific coast.
