Description
Description | Nine First Nations in Ontario have filed a constitutional challenge against the federal Bill C-5 and Ontario Bill 5, which allow the federal and provincial governments to fast-track infrastructure projects such as mines, ports, and pipelines. The First Nations argue that these laws authorize the Crown to unilaterally approve projects without meaningful engagement with First Nations, violating constitutional obligations and reconciliation efforts. They seek a court injunction to prevent the use of these laws, declarations about their unconstitutional passage, and $100 million in damages. |
