ITK President Natan Obed, who met July 24 with Prime Minister Mark Carney to discuss the federal government’s controversial major projects legislation says he has been assured the bill respects treaty rights.
Obed told reporters in Inuvik, N.W.T., that leaders attending the meeting of the Inuit-Crown Partnership Committee with Carney have had a “fulsome conversation” about Bill C-5.
“We’ve had reassurances that the bill … will not interrupt the processes under our modern treaties and that there will be full partnership of Inuit within these processes,” he said.
