According to the Yellowhead Institute’s Research Director Shiri Pasternak, Bill C-69, the Act to enact the Impact Assessment Act and the Canadian Energy Regulator Act, to amend the Navigation Protection Act, presents problems for First Nations.
Pasternak says there is no mention of #UNDRIP in the Bill, and Indigenous consent is very nearly absent from the Bill.
“And this is the primary piece of legislation that governs some of the biggest conflicts between Indigenous people and the State, which is around resource development and extraction development.” #cdnpoli
