La liste des nouveaux grands projets bénéficie d’un certain soutien des Autochtones
AI Article Summary
The Carney government has introduced a list of new major projects that have the support, ownership, or funding of First Nations. Notable projects include a liquefied natural gas (LNG) project on Nisga’a Nation territory in British Columbia and a hydroelectric project in Iqaluit, Nunavut. However, there is opposition, including lawsuits from two British Columbian First Nations against the Ksi Lisims project. The newly established Major Projects Bureau is involved in the evaluation and approval of these projects.
What This Means for Canadian Contractors
This project demonstrates how collaborative projects with First Nations can positively influence approvals and funding, thus affecting construction timelines and workforce planning. For Quebec builders, this highlights the importance of including Indigenous communities in development stages to optimize success chances. Adapting to these new standards can lay the groundwork for more stable work relations and better economic opportunities.
