Our conversation explores Prime Minister Mark Carney's announcement of five nation-building projects generating $60 billion for the Canadian economy, supported by eleven Indigenous leaders with exceptional credentials appointed to the Indigenous Advisory Council. Rob details how these transformative initiatives, from LNG Canada's Phase Two expansion doubling liquefied natural gas production in Kitimat to the Darlington New Nuclear Project's small modular reactor development, create launching pads for equity ownership and responsible resource management through meaningful Indigenous participation.

The five designated projects include LNG Canada's Phase Two in Kitimat, British Columbia, doubling production capacity; the Darlington New Nuclear Project in Clarington, Ontario, pioneering small modular reactor technology; the Contrecoeur Terminal Container Project expanding Montreal's port infrastructure; the McIlvenna Bay Foran Copper Mine Project in Saskatchewan; and the Red Chris Mine expansion in northwestern British Columbia. Each project embeds Indigenous economic participation as fundamental to approval and development processes.
