I would follow up in relation to Mr. Bigras, and I would agree with him. More specifically, I think first nations people have to be and should be consulted in relation to this. We don't know the effect of designating a significant area. I would suggest that the effect or the results will change over time.
I think first nations should be consulted because they have a different value system as far as the land is concerned when compared to this government or anyone at this table. The reality is that not only should provinces and territories be consulted, but first nations should be as well. To miss that opportunity, I would suggest, would be to ignore the facts of their significant contribution to our culture.
