Thank you for that.
I liked what you had to say about unifying principles. However, media coverage of caribou protection and the discussions I have had with some people about it lead me to believe that there is no consensus, or that it is difficult to reach one, on this issue. I have to be honest with you about that.
We've been working on this issue for three or four years now, and we've met with people. It's really tough to reach a consensus or a position that works for the majority of stakeholders, from people in the forest industry to those in favour of protecting biodiversity. Personally, I think the two can go hand in hand.
There's one thing I'd like to know, though. Is there a majority view among all the different indigenous communities that you could share with us?
I'm not trying to polarize the issue. I'm aware of what some Boisaco employees have told the media, and they have a different take on the situation.
What's the consensus view among first nations?
