US EditionCarney meets with Coastal First Nations today to talk major projects, oceans
The meeting addresses Indigenous partnership in resource projects amid pipeline disputes, with Coastal First Nations opposing lifting the oil tanker ban, officials said.
- Prime Minister Mark Carney will meet today with Coastal First Nations in Prince Rupert to discuss the government's major projects agenda and marine conservation, joined by ministers Tim Hodgson and Gregor Robertson.
- Tensions between the federal government and Coastal First Nations heated in 2025 when federal officials failed to meet the alliance before signing a memorandum of understanding with Alberta that contemplates lifting the oil‑tanker moratorium.
- A senior government source told The Globe and Mail that Carney expects to discuss Indigenous participation, and Hodgson apologized after a public gaffe suggesting a Zoom meeting.
- The alliance's stated opposition to both a pipeline and tanker‑moratorium suspension puts planned projects at stake, as Coastal First Nations represents nine First Nations protecting B.C.'s coastline and the Great Bear Rainforest.
- After Prince Rupert, Carney will travel to China, Qatar and Switzerland as part of an overseas sales trip and is scheduled to be in Davos from Jan. 19 to 21 when former prime minister Justin Trudeau appears on Jan. 20.
