Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre said he is initiating consultations with First Nations and industry leaders on a new proposal that would allow First Nations to collect more fiscal revenues from resource projects on their lands.
Speaking at a press conference in Vancouver on Jan. 24, Poilievre said he will be championing a “First Nations Resource Charge”—a proposal made by the First Nations Tax Commission that seeks to derive fiscal benefits from charges on resource projects such as mining and forestry in their lands.
