The Globe and Mail reports in its Wednesday edition that Prime Minister Mark Carney said Tuesday his government will advance major projects only in partnership with first nations. The Globe's Emily Haws and Willow Fiddler write that meantime, the Assembly of First Nations adopted a resolution demanding the withdrawal of a memorandum of understanding signed between Ottawa and Alberta that paves the way for a potential pipeline to the West Coast. The AFN resolution was yet another indication that unity remains a work in progress. Mr. Carney told the chiefs, "We will build in partnership by upholding indigenous rights and building in ways that first nations communities have greater security and prosperity." Mr. Carney said rights holders -- chiefs -- would be consulted for any Alberta-based projects that affect them, and that he is looking forward to meeting with coastal first nations in B.C., which oppose any lifting of the tanker ban. The AFN resolution rejects any proposed changes to the current tanker ban and wants the "immediate withdrawal of the Canada-Alberta MOU and any project contemplated or designated under the agreement that may infringe first nations' rights, including the right to self-determination."
