As for the way I'm seeing things, I can use some examples.
There are environmental projects that have actually been approved by the process. Your government shut them down, when indigenous people were keen for them to move forward. I can give you example after example of projects.
What you're talking about is not economic opportunity; this is about decision-making and having structures in place for appropriate decision-making and including communities.
Again I'll use first nations as an example, because certainly in British Columbia in the riding I represent, they need to play a critical role in saying yes or no to projects. What I'm hearing is a process that is again paternalistic.
