Sabia's PMO appointment could boost Indigenous role in resource projects: Kahnawake chief
Canadian Politics By A Kahnawake council chief says Michael Sabia's appointment to the Prime Minister's Office signals Mark Carney is serious about getting resource projects done with Indigenous involvement. In his time as Hydro‑Québec CEO and president, Sabia focused on the company's relationship with Indigenous communities, which Kahnawake council Chief Paul Rice said was historically fraught. 'He had a genuine interest in advancing Indigenous relations with Hydro‑Québec ... and to advance Indigenous participation in major projects,' Rice said about Sabia in an interview. 'The way that Hydro‑Québec got its start (was) pretty much taking the land away from these nations in order to generate power, and then ultimately income. So there's a lot of pain and a lot of bad history between the nations and companies like Hydro‑Québec,' pointing to a historical conflict that arose when Hydro‑Québec established a dam on Cree territory in James Bay. Rice highlighted several projects under Sabia that reflect the company's commitment to Indigenous equity and participation. One notable example is the Hertel-New York interconnection transmission line, which Hydro-Québec signed with the Mohawk Council of Kahnawake in 2024. It marks the utility's first project involving shared ownership of transmission infrastructure with both a third party and a First Nation community. Rice also highlighted Sabia's handling of unpaid hydro bills in certain communities, linking the issue to Hydro-Québec's history of profiting from land taken from Indigenous Nations. He believes Sabia brought in experts to manage the situation more thoughtfully and responsibly. He also cited the council's recent successful bid to become equity partners in the 144-megawatt Les Jardins wind energy project as another sign of progress. 'When they place an importance on Indigenous equity and Indigenous participation in the projects, it really allows us to benefit,' he said in an interview. 'Not just from potential employment ... we're able to benefit tremendously from equity ownership and income.' In addition to collaborating with the Mohawk Nation on major energy projects, Rice noted that Hydro‑Québec donated $10 million to help build a new language and cultural centre. Rice is hopeful that bringing Sabia into the Prime Minister's Office will influence Carney's approach to energy projects, which he has found disappointing so far during Carney's time in office. 'The first big move that the prime minister made was essentially to try to fast track a number of resource projects,' he said, referring to the Liberals' major projects legislation, which grants upfront regulatory approvals and eliminates all federal barriers to interprovincial trade. 'I'm not opposed to resource development and major projects, but the way in which he did it kind of alienated and infuriated a number of nations whose territories those projects are on,' he explained. 'Sabia, through his work at Hydro‑Québec, has empowered nations to be more involved as equity participants in projects.' Rice hopes Sabia's presence in the PMO will push the Liberal government to bring on Indigenous communities early in project planning, as well as consult them openly, involve them in the economics and business side, and make Indigenous equity participation mandatory for resource projects to move forward. Karl Moore, a professor in McGill's Faculty of Management who invites Sabia to speak to his class every year, said Sabia is knowledgeable of the Indigenous communities and their concerns, and will 'absolutely' bring these issues to the table as the clerk. 'He speaks fluent Carney,' Moore said, pointing to Sabia's background in Canada's Department of Finance and his role as Chief Financial Officer at CN Railway, as well as Carney's own deep financial credentials that helped secure his election win. 'Having been in the finance department in Ottawa, he would get what the prime minister's trying to accomplish.'

‘Canada Strong Pass' details coming next week after Carney campaign pledge
The federal government is set to announce details of its promised 'Canada Strong Pass' next week and the tourism initiative is expected to take effect later this month. 'Our Canada Strong Pass will make it easier for Canadians to make memories here at home, support Canadian tourism, and show our Canadian pride. This summer, let's choose Canada,' said Rechie Valdez, secretary of state for small business and tourism, in a statement. A Liberal government spokesperson told The Canadian Press that the pass will be available from June 20 until the end of August. During the recent federal election, Prime Minister Mark Carney promised to introduce a single pass that would give young people under 18 free seats on Via Rail when travelling with their parents, and free access to Canada's national galleries and museums. The Liberal platform said the party would also introduce 'heavily discounted' access to museums and galleries for Canadians aged 18 to 24.

The government spokesperson said details of the initiative will be announced in the coming days. In 2017, Via Rail offered unlimited travel passes for youth during the month of July to celebrate Canada's 150th birthday. While the organization said it planned originally to make 1,867 passes available, it extended the offer due to high demand and more than 4,000 Canadians purchased passes.
