Report avoids reference to UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples but calls for ‘meaningful Indigenous partnerships’
The Department of Natural Resources has released a 20-page report meant to serve as a framework for a “comprehensive minerals strategy” in New Brunswick.
The document was released Monday morning during a mining and petroleum industry conference in Fredericton.
New Brunswick’s Liberal government has touted the mining sector as an engine of economic development, notably the proposed Sisson mine.
