Government plans to help First Nations, Métis groups get capital for resource projects | CBC News
First Nations and Métis groups could soon have access to $1 billion in loans and loan guarantees over four years to start their own large and medium-sized resource projects.
At a news conference Tuesday at the Canadian Energy Museum near Devon, Kenney called the initiative a “game-changer” and a “paradigm shift” that could help get a pipeline built to the West Coast.
“We’re not going to get a pipeline built unless there is First Nations support and involvement,” Kenney said. “And this helps to facilitate that.”
