In this episode of Breakthrough Nation, Karen Restoule is joined by Alain Bartleman, Partner at Fogler Rubinoff LLP, for the series’ first conversation that looks beyond British Columbia to the national legal landscape. From overlapping Indigenous land claims and treaty certainty to recent court decisions across the country, this episode examines what’s unfolding in Canadian courts—and why it matters far beyond any single province. The discussion cuts to what’s truly at stake for governance, investment confidence, and Canada’s ability to move from ambition to execution.

ABOUT SERIES #3

SERIES #3 examines the growing tension between Aboriginal title, private property, and land-use certainty — starting in British Columbia. We’ll look at how recent court decisions are reshaping investment risk, governance, and Canada’s ability to build with confidence. You’ll hear from leading legal minds, policy experts, academics, and practitioners working at the intersection of Indigenous law, major projects, and economic development.

SERIES 3 is presented in collaboration with the Macdonald-Laurier Institute.
