flag Northwest Territories Premier R.J. Simpson demands Arctic infrastructure funds go to territories, not provinces, citing their unique challenges and governance.

flag Northwest Territories Premier R.J. Simpson is calling for federal Arctic infrastructure funding, including the new $1 billion Arctic Infrastructure Fund, to be directed to the territories rather than provinces, citing their unique challenges and limited revenue sources. flag Speaking at a premiers’ meeting in Ottawa on January 28, 2026, Simpson emphasized that territories, not northern regions within provinces, should be the primary recipients due to their distinct governance and needs. flag Yukon Premier Currie Dixon echoed the concern, and Manitoba’s proposal for a Churchill port sparked debate over Arctic sovereignty and funding eligibility. flag Territorial leaders are awaiting clarity on how the fund will be distributed.
