Indigenous Affairs

During Question Period on Indigenous Affairs, Conservatives asked about consultation with First Nations on the Pacific Link pipeline. Ellis Ross asked whether the government would require consent from all 129 First Nations along the route, saying different promises had been made to different nations. Billy Morin said photo opportunities with chiefs are not real consultation, and cited the AFN national chief’s criticism of the government’s Major Projects Office. Jaime Battiste, responding for the Liberals, said Indigenous rights are not an obstacle to building Canada but part of its foundation, that more than 130 Indigenous communities in Alberta and B.C. had been consulted, and that the government pursues economic reconciliation, including Indigenous ownership stakes and meaningful participation in major projects.Written by AI from the debate.
