The duty to consult is in fact, if I continue the phrase, the duty to consult and accommodate. The reason for that is to ensure that especially, as you yourself pointed out, future treaty negotiations, and ongoing treaty negotiations right now, will not be unduly affected.
In order to ensure that there's fair dealing in this country, the duty to consult and accommodate has been brought forward to the Supreme Court on many occasions. What I'm hearing from you is that I think DFO is not actually meeting its obligations under the court decisions of the Supreme Court. So how is it that DFO is actually going to meet the legal requirement, as set out by the Supreme Court of Canada, to properly consult and accommodate first nations and to make sure that our treaty negotiations will not be brought forward again to the courts of Canada?
