Jaime Battiste at the Indigenous and Northern Affairs Committee

Once again, I'll ask the NDP.

I understand all of that about FPIC. I'm in favour of it. I'm in favour of UNDRIP. My father was one of the original drafters of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. I'm asking you this: How does a first nations community demonstrate that, in reality?

I need the answer. What are you making a community do? There are 630 out there. I live on a reserve. Please tell me the instrument you're telling the community to do that with. What's the instrument a community uses to demonstrate that? In plain talk, what does your band have to do?
