Protesters stand at a rail blockade in Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory, near Belleville, Ont., in a Feb. 24, 2020, file photo.Canada-wide blockades sparked by the construction of the Coastal GasLink pipeline within Wet’suwet’en territory have underscored an overriding national imperative: securing clarity and predictability around Indigenous consultation and environmental approval processes.
If what stands at the end of a formal regulatory process is a blockade, or just another politician with an agenda, companies and investors with the vision and resolve to place capital at risk will simply not embark on that process at all. Canadians will lose. In these unsettling times, this well-developed legal framework needs to be reaffirmed and reinforced. It does not need to be upended. It needs clarity instead.
Building positive, respectful partnerships with Indigenous communities is fundamental to enhancing Indigenous participation in Canada’s economic prosperity. Economic reconciliation is central to real reconciliation. Our regulatory frameworks need to support those partnerships, not drive them apart.

Why are you obsessed with US news? What are you avoiding? Ghey.
