Loi controversée sur les grands projets  | Mark Carney rencontre des dirigeants inuits
AI Article Summary

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney met with Inuit leaders to discuss the controversial new federal law regarding major projects, which some believe bypasses environmental protections. The law, known as C-5, promises to respect treaty rights and aims to speed up national interest projects. Despite assurances, some Indigenous leaders, including Natan Obed of Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami, expressed concerns about insufficient consultation during the law's formation. This meeting follows criticism of the government's reconciliatory approach and ongoing legal actions from some Indigenous groups.
