I'm sure Bradley will speak to this. Consultation, involvement, seeking support—these are all passive ideas.
I've been very busy in the Mackenzie Valley. You'd never hear me say that the conservationists want to protect the ramparts. You'd hear that the conservationists support the chief of Fort Good Hope, who wants to protect the ramparts. The leadership for these initiatives needs to come from the people who are going to be experiencing the consequences of them. It's a matter of sharing the fashioning of it, the creation of it. It's not a matter of just cobbling something together and then working with...by then, it's often too late. You sort of say, “If we'd been involved in putting this together, we would have put it together differently.”
There are people outside government who are capable of bringing real, positive energy. They can fashion this thing with you and work with you to pull it together and write it and help you with all the folks who need to be involved to make it successful. That's really what I have in mind. It's not consultation. It's not involving.... It's not going to people after the fact. It's getting people in on the ground floor to actually put it together.
