We've been working on processes with the federal government to try to better inform the federal government on having a process that fits in a bunch of diverse processes, because indigenous nations, of course, have their own laws and legal traditions. For the most part, we've almost been establishing placemats or schematic designs where we would diagram the decision made in the impact assessment act, and if there is room for a joint decision, if possible, with a committee or a joint decision-making group with the indigenous groups involved.
We also don't want to miss the fact that because of the strong commitments with the UN declaration, we really would like to see strong recognition of inherent governing authority. I think there's a big capacity piece that we need to talk about with the federal government that not only involves the Minister of Environment and the Minister of Natural Resources , but also Minister Bennett. We have some discussions in our submissions, especially at the joint review panel stage, which includes a very friendly suggestion about the minister engaging with Minister Bennett on a specific building piece within the legislation so that happens.
We also want to see, as far as free, prior, and informed consent is concerned, capacity for the first nations, because that's where the consent happens within the indigenous process. The indigenous government makes a decision. That's very clearly some of the engagements we are doing, but we are also depending on the first nations leaders themselves to very much articulate that work.
