I think that at certain times political organizations will act as agents for federal policy or legal initiatives, such as the community engagement sessions that the AMC took forward.
In saying that, engaging in a community engagement process without knowing the outcomes of the recommendations, or the implications of putting those recommendations together to arrive at someone's office here in Ottawa without knowing what the implications are, I believe warrants a further degree of consultation with community members, to determine the appropriateness of the draft bill and whether or not they believe it furthers the efforts of self-determination and self-government.
I think there is a very significant component of consultation that is missing in where we are with this bill today.
