First Nations virtual regional engagement sessions : October-December 2025 : what we heard report.: CP22-241/2026E-PDF

"Indigenous Peoples are stewards of the lands and will help shape how major projects are developed through participation in federal assessments, Indigenous-led assessments, and economic opportunities, including equity involvement. Advancing the interests of Indigenous Peoples is a vital part of advancing major projects and is one of the factors considered under the Building Canada Act (the Act) in the designation of a project to be in the national interest. Meaningful consultation is key to the success of all future projects. Following discussions at the July 17, 2025, First Nations Major Projects Summit, the Major Projects Office (MPO), in partnership with Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs Canada (CIRNAC), held virtual regional engagement sessions with First Nations leaders and/or representatives from across the country. The sessions allowed the government to receive additional feedback and provided First Nations leaders and representatives and Modern Treaty and Self-Governing partners with an opportunity to further discuss major projects. The format allowed for more direct discussions in a smaller group setting, enabling participants to explore projects, challenges, and impacts of particular relevance to each region. … This document provides an overview of the sessions, including participation, key themes raised and next steps"--Introduction, page 1.
