Liberal government says its Northern Policy Framework is still a work in progress
After four years in power, the Liberal government still hasn’t delivered on a promise of a detailed plan for developing Canada’s North in a time of climate change and economic and military threats from circumpolar powers.
Almost three years ago, the Liberals committed to developing an Arctic Policy Framework. The document, intended to replace past strategies designed by the previous Conservative government, was supposed to be released this summer.
CBC News has learned that a recently scheduled announcement of the policy was cancelled. It’s unclear whether the finished policy will be released before the election.
