Ford's government passed Bill 23 as part of its plan to build 1.5 million homes in 10 years
Indigenous leaders from across Ontario called Wednesday for the repeal of a new housing bill they said was passed without properly consulting First Nations and could put their communities at risk.
"This bill is an enormous threat to First Nation jurisdiction, as well as inherent and treaty rights," said Reginald Niganobe, the Grand Council Chief of the Anishinabek Nation. The province said Wednesday that it is committed to meeting its constitutional duty to consult with Indigenous communities and creating a meaningful relationship with them while looking to "advance prosperity for all Ontarians."
Niganobe further accused the province of delegating consultation to municipalities, which do not have a constitutional duty to consult with First Nations as their governments are not considered part of the Crown. Clark previously said municipalities "have a role to deal with our Indigenous partners."
"Developing the Greenbelt will irrevocably damage the environment, Indigenous rights, public health and any progress made towards Indigenous reconciliation," said LaRocca.
