We are particularly concerned about the safety and security implications for Indigenous land and environmental defenders opposed to major projects recommended to be fast-tracked on their territories.
In August 2025, Prime Minister Mark Carney’s government established a Major Projects Office (MPO) “to move major projects forward faster, responsibly, and sustainably.” The 15 projects that have been “deemed to be of national importance and significance” include LNG Canada Phase 2 (that would involve the construction of compressor stations on Wet’suwet’en territory) and Ksi Lisims LNG (that would be fed by the Prince Rupert Gas Transmission pipeline on Gitxsan and Gitanyow territories).
We situate this in the context of the unreleased Civilian Review and Complaints Commission (CRCC) systemic investigation of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) Community-Industry Response Group (C-IRG).
