Thank you, Mr. Schmale, for the question.
I will make some comments and I will ask Mary Ellen and Willie to jump in after, so I will be brief.
I have always said that for indigenous people, one of the most important rights we have is the right to self-determination, and that is the right to say yes or to say no. Each project should be assessed on its own merits, case by case. That's how it should be. The whole push is to have the rights holders and title holders involved with public sector, private sector and all levels of government to jointly make decisions going forward. That's the best approach.
To me, that's what this bill speaks to—joint decision-making, getting involved sooner rather than later so you avoid blockades and you avoid legal battles.
That's my quick comment on it right now. I will ask Mary Ellen and Willie maybe to join in as well.
