Doug Ford meets with First Nations chiefs as tensions over Bill 5 continue to escalate
June 19, 2025
Ontario Premier Doug Ford is meeting with a group of 39 First Nations chiefs on Thursday to discuss their objections to Bill 5, which includes sweeping powers to speed up mines and other development, a day after making controversial comments about Indigenous rights. Bill 5, which Mr. Ford rushed through the legislature earlier this month, is similar but more far-reaching than similar legislation passed in B.C. and tabled in Ottawa. Ontario’s legislation would allow the province to scrap any provincial law or municipal bylaw in designated “special economic zones.”
