We believe it's entirely possible to achieve coordination and collaboration among governments. I think the first principle that needs to be included and respected in any federal legislation regarding environmental assessment is that our governments have to be respected. They have to be included in the definition of jurisdiction and not simply regarded as a stakeholder or as an interest rights holder who is allowed to sit at the kid's table.
If you want coordination, collaboration, and partnerships to achieve everything that people want, which is effective, efficient assessments and compliance, then I think you should include first nations governments right from the start. This will ensure that all the issues are addressed, and that all the parties have the ability to streamline examinations and, where necessary, come to agreements on how to proceed. As far as we're concerned, it's entirely possible.
