Territory says it ‘deeply regret[s] the recent accidental release’ of document still being negotiated
The Yukon government is under fire from a First Nation over its release of a draft framework for new mining legislation, something the territory said it did “accidentally.”
In a news release on Wednesday, the White River First Nation blasted the territorial government for releasing the framework that the First Nation says is unfinished, and deeply flawed.
The draft framework, which would serve as an outline for developing new mining legislation, was obtained by CBC News through an access to information request.
