Justice Minister Sean Fraser apologized Wednesday for comments he made about the government’s duty to consult with Indigenous leaders on major projects. Fraser said Tuesday that the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples requires consultation but does not amount to “a blanket veto power” over projects. Similar language asserting UNDRIP does not convey a veto is used in federal government documents about the declaration.

Justice Minister Sean Fraser says there will still be mechanisms allowing people to make asylum claims after being in the country for more than a year if the government's border bill passes. Critics and advocacy groups say the wide-ranging border security legislation threatens to remove civil liberties and due process from the immigration and asylum system. One of the proposed changes would prevent people from making asylum claims if they've been in Canada for more than a year.
