US Edition‘Build, Baby, Build’: A Guide to Canada’s Efforts to Fast-Track Pipelines and Mines
CANADA, JUL 9 – Amnesty International and Indigenous leaders warn Bill C-5 may undermine consultation and sovereignty, with 50 Prairie First Nations protesting its fast-tracking of projects, critics say.
- On June 26, 2025, the Canadian Senate approved new legislation designed to expedite federal approval for major infrastructure initiatives such as mining operations, shipping terminals, and pipeline projects.
- The bill aims to break down trade barriers and accelerate projects deemed in the national interest to boost economic security amid U.S. tariff threats.

- The National Chief of the Assembly of First Nations, Cindy Woodhouse, voiced strong opposition to Bill C-5, emphasizing that Indigenous rights cannot be compromised and criticizing the government’s expedited consultation process.
- The government plans ongoing consultations, including a July 17 meeting with First Nations where participants will submit and vote on questions, amid Indigenous promises of resistance.
