I think the federal government has extensive experience in doing consultations not only with indigenous people, but also broadly in other areas like the environment. I think that having consultation meetings regionally and then having those findings reported back at a national level is a legitimate approach. I think that we also need to do a fair bit of outreach. While there are certainly a great number of people who are really engaged with the political process in indigenous communities, there is also a fair degree of apathy among some of the people who may be most affected by this bill.
In addition to a consultation process that happens within the regions and not just in Ottawa, I'd also like to see a fair degree of outreach, which could take the form of marketing efforts, or it could take the form of ground level grassroots outreach.
