正文(英文) | June 14, 2019 Ottawa, Ontario Natural Resources Canada Canadians understand that for good projects to move ahead and grow our economy, we must protect our environment and respect the rights of Indigenous peoples. Clean, renewable energy is a key part of Canada’s energy future, and the federal government is committed to supporting such projects. That is why the Honourable Amarjeet Sohi, Canada’s Minister of Natural Resources, today announced that the Governor in Council has approved Manitoba Hydro’s $453 million Manitoba-Minnesota Transmission Project.

Through its Crown consultations, the Government of Canada is committed to making sure Indigenous concerns and interests are understood, responded to in a meaningful way, and where appropriate, accommodated. The Government of Canada is confident that it has fulfilled its duty to consult. As part of today’s announcement, the government has directed the NEB to amend five project conditions in order to respond to and accommodate concerns raised by Indigenous groups during the Crown consultation process. The modification of NEB conditions is responsive to the guidance provided by the Federal Court of Appeal decision on the Trans Mountain Expansion project. The government also responded to three suggestions made by the NEB in its Reasons for Decision Report, including through the creation of a terrestrial and cultural studies initiative to support Indigenous-led studies on issues related to the project. The government listened to and appreciates the concerns raised by Indigenous groups about the agreements withdrawn by the Government of Manitoba. As was done throughout the consultation process, the Government of Canada continues to encourage all parties to work together to resolve these issues. The federal government will continue to work in partnership with Indigenous groups to advance reconciliation, including through economic opportunities. Approving good projects following thorough reviews is part of the government’s plan to create good, middle class jobs, protect the environment, and advance reconciliation with Indigenous peoples.
