I haven't spoken to a single indigenous person who doesn't support UNDRIP and the principles of UNDRIP. They're very cautious in coming out and saying that they don't want UNDRIP legislation, because that's not the sense.
We don't have to throw the baby out with the bathwater. I think this legislation could be amended to provide that clarity and that certainty to investors and to allow for investment in indigenous territory—without giving up all the rest of the rights and the ways they can be applied to improve many other aspects of indigenous people's well-being.
I think there are some amendments.... We're not lawyers. Our members are not lawyers. I guess your job is to figure out how to write this legislation so it doesn't deter billions of dollars in investment. If you talk to investors and industry, they will tell you that this is going to cause capital to flee and it will not make Canada an attractive place for investment.
