The Assembly of First Nations’ preliminary legal review of Ottawa’s plan to fast-track selected projects suggests First Nations won’t have the opportunity to make informed decisions about infrastructure that could impact them.

Talking point: Prime Minister Mark Carney promised the government will uphold its constitutional obligation to consult First Nations when he unveiled the bill last week. It would let First Nations offer input on which projects are approved for fast-tracking, but they may not get a full picture of the project’s implications until afterwards. AFN National Chief Cindy Woodhouse Nepinak said it’s too early to say whether the bill could be amended to bring First Nations on board, especially given the government’s plans to pass the legislation before Parliament’s summer break.
