Ramon Kataquapit , a youth councillor with the Chiefs of Ontario and Nishnawbe Aski Nation , says young people will be leading the charge.

Bill C-5 allows cabinet to quickly grant federal approvals for big industrial projects like mines, ports and pipelines.

A nurse and a member of Batchewana First Nation near Sault Ste . Marie , Ont ., said young people have to lead this fight because they're the ones who will have to live with the impacts of accelerated development.

“If the land is sick, we’re going to be sick as well,” said Hanna Sewell .
