Major Infrastructure Projects in the North

The Prime Minister was in Norway last weekend, meeting with Nordic leaders to discuss strengthening defense capabilities in the Arctic. It came off the back of Carney announcing a $35 billion plan to boost defense and infrastructure in Canada’s north. Andrea Charron, Director of the University of Manitoba’s Centre for Defense and Security Studies, discusses where this funding is going and why closer ties with our Arctic neighbours is important. Natan Obed, President of Canada's national Inuit organization Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami, talks about how this money will impact northern communities.
