Canadian National Railway (CNR-T) business leaders are expressing frustration because of uncertainty with a deal Ottawa has struck with hereditary Wet'suwet'en chiefs to solve a pipeline dispute that led to blockades on Canadian National Railway tracks.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said he knows people are impatient for a resolution, but time is needed to respect the traditions of the Wet'suwet'en. Details of the deal are confidential until the Wet'suwet'en people are consulted through their traditional feast process, which could take up to two weeks.

Canadian Chamber of Commerce chief executive officer Perrin Beatty wondered whether the deal had solved the issues. "Was anything actually resolved as a result of the negotiations. We don't know," he said. "It just protracts the uncertainty that businesses are facing."

While freight trains are slowly starting to move again, business leaders say they are reluctant to move full speed ahead because of that uncertainty. Dennis Darby, CEO of Canadian Manufacturers & Exporters, said a recent survey of his members found that 92 per cent believed the blockades had damaged Canada's international reputation.
