An NDP MP says the federal government’s Indigenous Advisory Council, which has been set up to assist the Major Projects Office in evaluating large infrastructure projects, will make little difference to communities.
Leah Gazan (Winnipeg Centre) said as Parliament resumes, she’ll pressure the government to commit to consultations with each rights and title holder affected by a proposed project.
“I think it’s just another action of the federal government. ”Gazan said.
