Today, MP Michael McLeod, on behalf of the Honourable Jonathan Wilkinson, Minister of Energy and Natural Resources, along with the Honourable Caroline Wawzonek, Minister of Infrastructure for the Northwest Territories, announced up to $25 million in infrastructure funding, pending final due diligence, to the Government of Northwest Territories for its Taltson Hydro Expansion Project. This funding would be provided through the federal government's Critical Minerals Infrastructure Fund (CMIF). The project is in partnership with Indigenous governments, including the Akaitcho Dene First Nations, the Northwest Territory Métis Nation, and the Salt River First Nation. This partnership-based approach ensures that these Indigenous governments play a key role in shaping the project's direction.
