I checked up as far as I could because our shop is a small technical shop here in Ottawa, but we were monitoring the fact that Canada was going to ratify and sign the convention on biological diversity. There are articles underneath the convention that are internationally binding and have a very direct implication for a national conservation plan, given that consent, given that involvement, given that equitable sharing of benefits is explicitly in the text of the treaty.
I think you need a really good technical platform and a due diligence design in terms of making sure that platform is built into the national conservation plan and doesn't get missed. You can't get around it because it is a binding international covenant. I don't think folks have to be alarmed by that. By and large, in terms of what Monte has shared there, that when you start dealing with indigenous folks and first nations people you'll often get beyond the positioning very quickly, if it's a respectful relationship and there is some parity in terms of resources.... You'll get down to mutual interest and mutual development, and you'll just get moving forward.
