YouTube Description
as posted by the channelPrime Minister Mark Carney promised First Nations rights-holders wealth and prosperity for "generations to come" at a summit Thursday. The summit was designed to allay leaders' concerns about the government's major projects law, which has ignited criticism because it allows for fast-tracked approvals.
