Thank you for that.

I want to hear numbers. I want to hear how many first nations you consulted with. You talked about engagement. For me, it's not too clear.

I want you to explain, because the duty to consult is very important, and first nations people will be impacted. We need to know how many first nations bands and how many first nations you consulted with. I want to know the numbers of these.
