I'm a big believer in breaking down the components of FPIC. I believe that all nations and all indigenous people need to have good information, and they need to be free to enter conversations and make decisions. They need adequate capacity to do that.
They need the information early, so a major part of our effort here is to make sure that discussions are early. As Ms. Farrell was saying, communities are not used to proponents showing up with little information, but that's the point. We don't want proponents showing up in communities with plans that are so far down the road that they're intransigent because they've invested too much money in developing them. We want indigenous people to be involved in the co-development of these projects, so—
My time is up.
