Thank you.
In terms of how the federal government should go about obtaining free, prior, and informed consent, there isn't a one-size-fits-all. There needs to be dialogue among governments and indigenous peoples to establish how free, prior, and informed consent will be obtained and respected. I certainly would encourage the committee to look at the nation-to-nation relationship so that nations can identify how free, prior, and informed consent will be navigated with projects, how it will be obtained and respected.
I'll turn it over to Regional Chief Teegee.
