Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is scheduled to meet with Métis leaders from Ontario, Saskatchewan, and Alberta to discuss the government’s proposed accelerated approval process for major projects deemed to be in the national interest. The meeting aims to advance consultations on the legislation, known as the major projects bill. However, the federation representing Red River Métis has expressed concerns, stating that Carney’s decision to include the Métis Nation of Ontario in the discussions undermines the integrity of the gathering and could jeopardize the government’s plans for the bill.
