The Hudson Bay and James Bay Lowlands of northern Ontario form one of the world’s most vital carbon sinks and life supporting areas, as an ecosystem of profound cultural importance. Despite its global significance, this fragile region faces an unprecedented threat from proposed mining development in the area popularly known as the Ring of Fire.
LAND’s 2025 summer law student, Jana Abu Deyah, offers her reflections and commentary on Bill C-5, An Act to enact the Free Trade and Labour Mobility in Canada Act and the Building Canada Act, raising questions about government accountability, environmental safeguards and how exactly Indigenous rights will be respected.
Bill 5 was passed last week and demands that we respond to uphold Indigenous rights, Treaty responsibilities and environmental justice. Here’s our proposed way forward – together.
As lawyers, we took an oath to ensure access to justice and champion the rule of law. This oath bestows a privilege but also a responsibility to advance the cause of justice and safeguard the rights and freedoms of all persons in Ontario. In light of recent legislation proposed by the Ontario government, this oath — and by extension the Law Society Act that makes it operative — are jeopardized.
Submit a written comment to the Standing Committee on the Interior. Part of the Standing Committee’s role in studying Bill 5 is considering the perspectives of members of the public to get a fuller picture of the potential impacts of the bill. Show the government that people care, people are concerned, and Bill 5’s attempt to evict Indigenous rights and nature from law won’t go unnoticed.
