As a follow-up question, in part because of Mr. Fairbairn's response, he said that “consult and co-operate” are in UNDRIP, but so is “consent”. I think that because “consent” is also in UNDRIP...it has to be something that we don't pick and choose what parts of UNDRIP to incorporate.
I'm just sharing my support again for CPC-1 because the relationships can be strengthened between the minister and the first nations, because the minister, in needing to get consent from the first nations governing body, will create a stronger understanding of what the first nations might choose or, if there's no choice that has been made, it creates that opportunity for further discussion between the minister and the first nations. I think that is an opportunity towards reconciliation and towards strengthening relationships, especially regarding standards and water. That's why I'm going to be supporting this amendment.
