Yes, absolutely.
I don't believe it is a partisan issue. I don't believe it is an issue between the sitting government and the opposition. In the end, whatever piece of legislation gets passed in the House of Commons will be implemented into law by the crown, and the crown needs to fulfill the duty to consult. If there were to be legislation proposed specifically to replace the Indian Act, or more generally that would apply to or affect treaty rights or aboriginal rights, I think that should reflect a consultation process with the affected first nations. If it's the Indian Act that is going to affect all first nations, then I believe, yes, that consultation process should take place.
