Federal cabinet ministers say they understand there is growing frustration caused by ongoing rail and road disruptions, but they also stress the only way to peacefully resolve the crisis is through negotiation. Economic Development Minister Melanie Joly says the government has been steadfast in trying to find peaceful end to the rail and road blockades by supporters of Indigenous chiefs who oppose a pipeline project in their traditional territory. Indigenous Services Minister Marc Miller said there are particular protocols necessary when dealing with Indigenous communities and that engagements involving police must be "cautious."
