Erste Nationen fordern die FEDS auf, die Rechnung C-5 abzulehnen

> “This bill is being rushed through parliament with a design to give the cabinet power to bulldoze our rights,” said Grand Chief Greg Desjarlais in a statement.

There is so much controversy around this bill and it’s clearly a very significant shift in our regulation system. We *need* proper time to discuss this bill to ensure it is in the best interest of Canadians. Adding some months to pass the bill to prevent years of court battles stalling projects is far more efficient than how the Liberals are currently proceeding. It’s really troubling to see how much the Liberals want to avoid proper debate and consultation on it. This is not a very democratic way to implement change.

Ironically, the way the bill is being pushed through Parliament really demonstrates the concern with how it will be applied: just rush through discussion with little concern or time given to stakeholders and affected parties. What happens when a project threatens the drinking water of a community or threatens the extinction of important wildlife? What happens when indigenous groups aren’t properly consulted when starting a project? There’s a lot of ways this will create *more* inefficiency and create conditions that will stall a project.

Sign a deal to make treaty deal money from the signing of the treaty deals($4 dollars) retroactive rise with inflation to today’s value.

Then maybe they will sign a deal to let you take minerals from their land.

🤷 Not a tough call.

Billions of treaty money for billions of minerals money. Sounds fair and square to me.
