Okay. Now we have a bill that has just widened the scope of what it's expecting, with no consultation, as far as I understand.

Of the 3,000, how many of those members of the first nations communities were consulted about what might compromise the competitive position of the band's free enterprise activities?

Can you answer?

The way I want to put it is how does one increase accountability by doing something that was completely untransparent, with no consultation? Is consultation not part of accountability?
