First of all, from the perspective of the Athabasca government, we have put a system in place to define what we see as a protocol system and a duty to consult and accommodate. The Province of Saskatchewan was putting laws on the land that had never been in place before, not even under the duty to consult and accommodate from the Province of Saskatchewan, and in Alberta also. We have made those laws by putting a protocol system into place and a version of what we want to do in protecting the interest of the land, especially the indigenous species and the environment and everything that goes with it, including the drinking water.
