Bill C-5 would allow the federal government to designate projects in the “national interest” and fast-track them by granting approvals within two years .

The legislation is being widely criticized by Indigenous leaders and community members across the country for a lack of consultation and a tight timeline in which the government wants to pass the bill.

Most Liberal MPs appear to be backing the bill and the process.
