MPP of Kiiwetinoong Sol Mamakwa grills the Ford government about the lack of consultation with Neskantaga First Nation on the Northern Links Project.
During the question period at Queen’s Park, a heated discussion between the Kiiwetinoong MPP Sol Mamakwa and Northern Development Minister Greg Rickford over Neskantaga First Nation Chief Wayne Moonias’s comments on the Northern Links road project.
In the video, Moonias said anyone planning to build a road through the First Nation's traditional territory "will have to kill us first." Rickford stood up to answer Mamakwa’s question. His response did reference Neskantaga First Nation, the chief's comments, or the Northern Links Project. Instead, Rickford provided a response with references to other northern Ontario mining projects, where First Nations communities have given their consent to build on their traditional lands.
Mamkwa also pointed to recent provincial legislation introduced by the government — Bill 71 — to fast-track the approval process for mining developments.
