💨 Abstract

Nine First Nations in Ontario, Canada launched a constitutional challenge against recent federal and provincial laws aimed at expediting major projects. The plaintiff nations, including Alderville, Attawapiskat, and others are arguing that the legislation violates their self-determination rights and the government's constitutional obligations. The federal law, pushed by Prime Minister Mark Carney, allows the ministers to select projects of "national interest" and decide the laws applicable.
