Prime Minister Mark Carney said ahead of a meeting with Métis leaders on Aug. 7 that respecting the rights of indigenous communities is “at the core” of the recently passed bill around approving major projects.
Carney is meeting with the chiefs of three provincial Métis groups in Ottawa to discuss the One Canadian Economy Act, formerly known as Bill C-5, which speeds up the development of major projects such as pipelines, ports, and railways that are deemed of national interest.
