Led by Justice Thomas R. Berger, the inquiry assessed the regional impacts of a proposed natural gas pipeline across the northern Yukon and Mackenzie Valley in the Northwest Territories. However, it also provoked a broader debate about what Canada should be, revealing deep divisions over development, democracy, and progress. I explore how different public interest organizations and Indigenous peoples used the inquiry to offer critiques about the closed nature of decision-making, the limits to growth, and the impacts of colonialism. These critiques were the basis of different imagined futures for Canada, ones with varying paths for development and societal progress that still had a role – albeit a reimagined one – for government. Le présent article s'intéresse à l'enquête sur le pipeline de la vallée du Mackenzie (1974–1977) pour savoir ce qu'il démontre du Canada des années 1970. Dirigée par le juge Thomas R. Berger, l'Enquête a évalué les effets régionaux d'un projet de pipeline de gaz naturel au nord du Yukon et dans la vallée du Mackenzie dans les Territoires du Nord-Ouest. Ce projet a toutefois provoqué un débat plus vaste sur ce que le Canada devrait incarner et a révélé de profondes divisions à l'égard du développement, de la démocratie et du progrès. L'autrice explore les manières dont divers organismes d'intérêt public et des peuples autochtones se sont servis de l'enquête pour formuler des critiques quant à l'opacité des décisions, les limites pour la croissance et les répercussions du colonialisme. Ces critiques ont jeté les bases de diverses perspectives d'avenir pour le Canada, aux trajectoires variables pour le développement et le progrès de la société, qui maintenaient un rôle pour le gouvernement, même s'il était réimaginé. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Canadian Historical Review is the property of University of Toronto Press and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
