Prime Minister Mark Carney met with Inuit leaders in Inuvik, Northwest Territories, to discuss the federal government's controversial Bill C-5, which aims to accelerate major infrastructure projects.
Inuit leaders expressed concerns that the new legislation could violate modern treaties and Indigenous rights. Carney reassured them that the bill 'fully respects treaty rights' and that Inuit communities will be full partners in the process. The meetings are part of Carney's broader outreach to Indigenous groups as he seeks to balance economic development with reconciliation.
The discussions come amid ongoing tensions between the federal government and Indigenous leaders over the pace and process of nation-building projects.
