First Nations Push Back on Infrastructure Rule Changes
Description
The national chief of the Assembly of First Nations, Cindy Woodhouse Nepinak, is challenging the federal governments plan to expedite infrastructure project rules, deeming the 30-day feedback window insufficient. She argues that these reforms, including federal economic zones and pipeline approvals, disregard First Nations rights and free, prior, and informed consent under the UNDRIP. The Assembly plans to submit concerns and advocate for full parliamentary hearings, while the government pushes for faster approvals to boost the economy. The tension escalates as the summer break approaches.
