Sébastien Lemire at the Indigenous and Northern Affairs Committee

Thank you, Mr. Chair.

In principle, I agree. I will still propose a subamendment to amendment G‑2. You've already received the wording.

I have a question for the officials. Is this a commitment to be met, pursuant to articles 10, 29(2) and 32(2) of the United Nations Declaration on Indigenous Peoples? Those articles require the express consent of indigenous peoples before projects affecting their lands are approved.
