One Canadian economy, many Indigenous concerns: what's at stake with Bill C-5?

This week on APTN News InFocus, host Cierra Bettens looks at what's at stake for Indigenous communities as governments across Canada move to accelerate energy and resource projects. In Nova Scotia a ban on uranium mining and fracking has been reversed. Quebec is proposing changes that could make it easier for companies to clear-cut forests. Manitoba is talking about a pipeline and Ontario's Bill 5 aims to create 'special economic zones' for development in the Ring of Fire. At the federal level Bill C-5, the One Canadian Economy Act, proposes a powerful new office to select projects of national interest. Karyn Pugliese covers Parliament Hill for APTN News online and explains what it all means. We also hear from Sol Mamakwa, Ontario NDP deputy leader, who shares his concerns about the province's Bill 5 and what it could mean for Indigenous Peoples. • • • APTN National News, our stories told our way.
