I am listening very intently to this important discussion and the concerns about setting such a high bar, especially when we have provinces with leadership like that in Alberta, which I think would never proudly meet with the first nations.
I see that CPC-4 looks to amend the current subclause 21(2). Subclause 21(2) is already about:
the Minister must consult and cooperate with First Nation governing bodies, federal ministers and the governments of the provinces and territories.
Therefore, I do appreciate what the current bill already provides for.
