Thank you Mr. Chair.
I do appreciate the discussion. I do appreciate the questions, the answers and the concerns being raised. I truly do. Obviously, we are trying to make this as strong as possible and as consistent as possible.
I have trouble understanding how this is a new word. I know it's new in the clause being amended. If I'm not mistaken, we've heard here at the table multiple times throughout the course of this discussion that UNDRIP is law in Canada. I see heads nodding. UNDRIP, of course, requires free, prior and informed consent, so to me this is not a new word that's being included.
Has free, prior and informed consent been lived up to? Has that been met since UNDRIP has become law in Canada?
