Quebec Innu win latest court battle against Iron Ore and Newfoundland and Labrador
MONTREAL — Innu groups have won the latest court battle in their land-claims fight against Iron Ore Co. of Canada, a railway company and the government of Newfoundland and Labrador.
The Innu are seeking $900 million in all against Iron Ore, the Quebec North Shore and Labrador Railway Co. Inc., and Newfoundland and Labrador.
The parties are involved in various mining and infrastructure projects on land in Quebec and Newfoundland and Labrador claimed by the Innu.
The three entities were hoping to remove the portion of Iron Ore’s operations in Labrador from the Innu’s lawsuit.
