Assembly of First Nations National Chief Cindy Woodhouse Nepinak warned that without a better process in place, based on free, prior and informed consent from First Nations, no major projects will move forward on First Nations lands, despite Prime Minister Mark Carney’s efforts to fast-track them. (The Logic)
Talking point: The chief said hundreds of billions of dollars worth of projects are forecasted to be built on First Nations lands in the next decade. Last week, Carney appointed 11 First Nations, Métis and Inuit representatives to an advisory council that will weigh in on which projects are fast-tracked by his new major projects office. The AFN has little information about how the advisory council will work, and wasn’t consulted about who should serve on it, Woodhouse Nepinak said. She added that the advisory council cannot be used to “side-swipe” the consent of First Nations.
