Mark LaForme expressed concern that the early works allowed under the new bill would severely impact and destroy the Mississaugas of the Credit's cultural, harvesting, and treaty rights.
LaForme emphasized that the construction of Highway 413 will cut through significant ecological areas, including wetlands and rivers, ultimately leading to pollution and the destruction of vital fish habitats.
The legislation's fast-tracking raises alarm as Indigenous consultations and necessary environmental assessments are being overlooked, which undermines the duty to consult with Indigenous communities.
Highway 413 connects multiple regions but also threatens the ecological integrity of the lands that the Mississaugas of the Credit have relied upon for generations.
