Major projects bill moving ahead despite pushback from Indigenous groups, MP
But Bill C-5 will be pushed through the House this week with limited study, despite warnings from environmental and Indigenous groups.
Some Liberal members of Parliament say they have concerns of their own.
MP Nate Erskine-Smith made his opinion known in Parliament on Tuesday, saying the government is rushing the bill.
Fellow Liberal MP Marcus Powlowski says that while he understands the concerns about the pace, he believes the bill needs to pass this summer.
Liberal MP Karina Gould says the government needs to strike the right balance on the bill or it will face court challenges.

Indigenous leaders on Trans Mountain lessons as Building Canada Act moves forward
OTTAWA – Two former Indigenous leaders on both sides of the debate over the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion say the federal government can't ignore First Nations on future infrastructure projects it seeks to approve. Their comments come as Prime Minister Mark Carney aims to fast-track major projects, such as pipelines and mines, through his government's newly adopted 'Building Canada Act.' Following years of delays and legal challenges, the expanded Trans Mountain pipeline, known as TMX, began operating last year. The project took more than 10 years to complete, after a court cited inadequate consultation with Indigenous groups in its decision to quash the federal government's initial approval of the expansion. The Canadian Press spoke with two former Indigenous leaders — one who supported TMX and one who opposed it — about what lessons have been learned from Trans Mountain, and whether they expect anything different from Carney's plans to accelerate more major projects. Leah George-Wilson, former chief of the Tsleil-Waututh Nation, doesn't believe Ottawa has learned any lessons. 'I think we will see more First Nations turning to the courts over this piece of legislation,' she said of the Building Canada Act. George-Wilson's B.C.-based First Nation fought in court against the Trans Mountain expansion pipeline, which ends in Burrard Inlet, part of her people's ancestral territory. They initially succeeded in reversing the Trudeau government's approval of the project in 2018 over a lack of consultation. However, after the government reapproved the project in 2019, First Nations such as Tsleil-Waututh were unable to stop it. It was during this legal battle that the federal government purchased the Trans Mountain project from Kinder Morgan, which had been preparing to withdraw. The TMX saga has left George-Wilson feeling pessimistic about the government's approach to other projects. 'Even today … the government has not responded to the significant impacts that Trans Mountain has had and continues to have on our community,' she said. She says she is not reassured by Carney's promise to respect section 35 of the Constitution Act — which guarantees the ancestral rights of Indigenous peoples — nor by the meetings he held over the summer with Indigenous leaders on his government's plans to quickly approve infrastructure projects. Some Indigenous communities have said they were not consulted during the drafting of the new legislation and fear it will infringe on their rights. Nine First Nations in Ontario have already filed a legal challenge against the Building Canada Act. With the law, Carney wants to speed up projects that Ottawa considers to be in the national interest, with the goal of limiting approval times to two years. 'I don't think this piece of legislation is going to speed up the projects at all because they're going to end up in court,' she said. However, Joe Dion a former grand chief in Alberta, says he thinks the Carney government will respect Section 35 and honour the principle of free, full, and informed consent of First Nations. 'For the government to revoke this section or to go against it would be a national shame. So I don't think it's going to happen',' said Dion, who is the CEO and director of the Western Indigenous Pipeline Group. The group includes dozens of Indigenous communities that, in partnership with Pembina Pipeline Corporation, want to acquire TMX. Ottawa has signalled its intention to divest itself of the pipeline ever since it purchased it from Kinder Morgan, though it has not yet done so. Dion believes that things have changed significantly since the Trans Mountain saga began, and believes the Carney government intends to fully involve Indigenous communities in future projects labelled as in the national interest. 'The government is now saying that the First Nations and the Indigenous groups will have equity, will have ownership in these projects,' he said in an interview. 'When TMX started, there was no promise of that at all … We had to fight for it, we have to fight for it.' Dion acknowledges that the Building Canada Act has drawn criticism from many Indigenous communities, but he said, 'You will never have unanimity, whether it's First Nations or non-First Nations.' In his view, projects that would 'severely affect' Indigenous communities will simply not go ahead, and won't be selected as being in the national interest.

Anand says international law is fundamental, as Ukraine talks kick off at White House
OTTAWA – Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand says Canada is trying to convince other countries that international law is fundamental for peace in Ukraine and across the world. Anand is in Helsinki, meeting with foreign ministers from Nordic countries as part of Canada's foreign policy for the Arctic, which seeks more economic and security ties with countries like Finland Anand will meet with Finnish President Alexander Stubb on Tuesday, after he returns to Helsinki from a White House visit with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Zelenskyy is in Washington alongside major European leaders to meet with U.S. President Donald Trump, who hosted a summit last week with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Trump is trying to play peace broker to end the war that started with Russia's annexation of Crimea in 2014, followed by its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Kyiv says it needs security guarantees, which involve meaningful commitments of military force by more powerful countries if Russia makes more incursions into Ukraine.

What you need to know about the federal byelection in Battle River-Crowfoot
Albertans living in the federal riding of Battle River-Crowfoot will soon have a new member of Parliament as they prepare to vote in Monday's byelection. Prime Minister Mark Carney called the byelection in June after Conservative MP Damien Kurek stepped down from his seat so Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre could run. Poilievre lost his long-held Ottawa seat of Carleton, when Liberal candidate Bruce Fanjoy won that seat in an upset. Kurek's resignation came after he handily won the riding in April. The history of the riding and its previous incarnations indicate it has been one of the safest blue seats in the country. The Battle River-Crowfoot riding covers a large swath of eastern and central Alberta, encompassing communities like Drumheller, Hanna, Stettler, Camrose and Provost. Enlarge image (new window) Conservative Party of Canada candidate Pierre Poilievre speaks during the Battle River-Crowfoot byelection candidate forum in Camrose, Alta. on Tuesday, July 29, 2025. While more than 200 candidates were registered, only 10 were allowed to participate. Photo: The Canadian Press / Jason Franson There are 214 candidates registered in the byelection, making it the largest number of candidates on a federal ballot in Canadian history. Those running include Poilievre, Liberal candidate Darcy Spady, NDP candidate Katherine Swampy, Jonathan Bridges of the People's Party of Canada, Ashley MacDonald of the Green Party and Independent candidate Bonnie Critchley. For the first time ever, Elections Canada says voters must fill out a blank ballot. Because of the record-breaking number of candidates, voters will be provided with special write-in ballots instead of standard list-style ballots. WATCH | What's at stake for Pierre Poilievre? Elections Canada said in an email to CBC News that it expects the results of the byelection to take longer to report and publish. The head of the agency has decided to allow ballots to start being counted two hours before polls close. While things will take more time, we do expect all ballots will be counted on election night, said Elections Canada in an email. Elections Canada added that other than in an exceptional circumstance, it won't stop counting votes until each ballot is accounted for, even if the process runs late into the night. Last week, Elections Canada released data from advance polls which revealed 14,454 people have already cast their ballots in the riding, more than the amount who showed up at advance polls in that riding for April's federal election. Longest Ballot Committee concerns Most of the 214 candidates on the ballot are associated with a group of electoral reform advocates known as the Longest Ballot Committee. The committee has been organizing candidates to run in byelections in recent years to promote electoral reform. At an unrelated news conference in Calgary earlier this month, Poilievre expressed frustration with the group. They're adding their names even though they're not campaigning, he said at the time. They don't expect to win. They just want to inundate the ballot to confuse the situation [and] make it harder for people to vote. WATCH | Experts weigh in on the upcoming byelection: Critchley has also expressed frustration with the committee, saying in an open letter posted on her campaign website that there is a backlash in the riding from voters who are worried that she is a fake out candidate. I don't have a massive team, I don't have backing from millions of people, she wrote. "I have to go door to door within my community and explain to my neighbours that I have nothing to do with you. I have to explain that I am here, in my home, and I am standing up for myself, my neighbours and my community against the guy from Ottawa who doesn't give a damn about us. Please do not bury me with your 'legal' election interference. Poilievre cannot act as the Opposition leader in question period or participate in debate without a seat in the House of Commons. The Conservative caucus chose former party leader Andrew Scheer to lead the Opposition in the House of Commons on a temporary basis. Poilievre also faces a Conservative Party of Canada leadership review in January after the Tories failed to form government in the last federal election. If a leader does not resign, the party's constitution requires members to vote on whether that leader should stay on at its next national convention.
