Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you for your attendance here this morning and for your very interesting testimony. I want to follow up regarding some previous comments you made with respect to consultation, specifically consultation regarding this bill, Bill C-428.

The courts and practice have indicated that consultation with first nations is a requirement. From your perspective, when has that duty been complied with?
