Ontario’s Bill 5 has passed. Here’s why it has sparked conflict with First Nations

June 5, 2025
Ontario’s Bill 5, which passed on Wednesday, will give the provincial government sweeping powers to disregard its own laws in order to speed up mining or other projects – and has prompted warning of protests or blockades from Indigenous leaders who say they should have been consulted.Formally known as the Protect Ontario by Unleashing Our Economy Act, the legislation allows the Ontario government to designate “special economic zones” where it could suspend any provincial law – including environmental or labour rules and municipal bylaws – for companies or entities it labels “trusted proponents.”
