What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney stated that his government has not made a decision to lift the decade-long moratorium on offshore oil and gas exploration in the Arctic. He clarified that a budget item of C$11 million ($7.79 million) over four years is capacity funding for Inuit leadership. Canada’s Minister of Northern and Arctic Affairs, Rebecca Chartrand, added that any future discussion would uphold Canada’s environmental standards and existing self-government agreements.
