This week on APTN News InFocus, host Cierra Bettens revisits Bill C-5, the One Canadian Economy Act, which became law on June 26. The legislation promises to remove interprovincial trade barriers and fast-track development projects deemed to be in the national interest.
But critics say that promise comes at a steep cost.
Indigenous leaders across the country have raised serious concerns that Bill C-5 could sideline treaty rights and pave the way for environmentally destructive projects. While Prime Minister Mark Carney pledged to hold summits with First Nations, Inuit and Métis leaders, sources say no formal invites have been issued.
APTN’s Parliament Hill reporter Karyn Pugliese joins us to unpack what the new law means for Indigenous communities and how Ottawa is, or isn’t, following through on its promises.
