Again, this just harmonizes with Bill C-69.
I would note, Madam Chair, that the usage we're gravitating to is indigenous knowledge as opposed to traditional knowledge. I will make the comment that in addition to the indigenous communities, there are non-indigenous communities up and down our coasts. I'm going to be going back looking for community knowledge, or perhaps we can use the term “traditional knowledge” to apply to the non-indigenous people, but I think that has to be reflected in here somewhere. I would ask staff if, in fact, non-indigenous knowledge by non-indigenous people is factored into the decision-making process.
