Thank you.

Again, I'm tripping over the difference between free, prior and informed consent and the duty to consult. Those questions have been quite answered in Nunavut, for example. Would it not be more helpful to maybe have that in the clarification part of this bill, where we just say that, for greater clarity, free, prior and informed consent and duty to consult are equivalent terms?

See context to find out what was said next.
