Prime Minister Mark Carney opened a two-day summit with First Nations chiefs on the government’s recently passed major projects bill by saying the legislation puts “indigenous economic growth at its core.”
Carney is meeting with the chiefs in Gatineau, Que., on July 17 to discuss the One Canadian Economy Act, formerly known as Bill C-5, which allows the government to support the development of major projects such as pipelines, ports, and railways that are deemed of national interest.
