Elizabeth May accused Prime Minister Carney of rushing major projects through the House of Commons, calling the move a new low in contempt for Parliament. She joined First Nations leaders and activists to voice concerns as Bill C-5 heads for unusually fast two day committee study and potential passage by week’s end, amid warnings of inadequate Indigenous consultation.

ITK President Natan Obed, Cindy Woodhouse Nepinak, and David Chartrand told the Senate that Bill C-5 bypasses consultations and rushes Indigenous rights, risking court battles and investor uncertainty while aiming to speed major projects like mines pipelines and ports. They urged more time for Indigenous input and warned the act undermines rights.

Officials gave mixed signals and no cabinet briefing, with commissioner Pelletier saying the force would stay outside the National Defence Department. Details may wait until the fall budget.
