Prime Minister Mark Carney met with Inuit leaders in Inuvik, Northwest Territories, to address concerns over Bill C-5, a major projects law aimed at fast-tracking infrastructure development. Inuit leaders, including Natan Obed, sought assurances that the legislation would not violate modern treaties or undermine Indigenous rights. Carney pledged that the bill 'fully respects treaty rights' and emphasized the government's commitment to partnership with Indigenous communities. The meetings come amid broader tensions between the federal government and Indigenous groups over resource development and treaty obligations. Carney's visit to his birthplace in the Northwest Territories also served as a symbolic gesture of outreach and reconciliation.
