Premier Doug Ford ’s government is set to capitulate to some First Nation demands on a controversial mining bill.

Bill 5 seeks to speed up mining projects, but will also add in “special Indigenous economic zones” at the request of First Nations for projects they want fast-tracked.

Bill will be amended to explicitly include duty to consult provisions throughout the bill.

The Chiefs of Ontario , representing all 133 First Nations in the province, said the bill should be killed outright.
