Brendan Hanley at the Indigenous and Northern Affairs Committee

Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, officials, for being here.

I want to continue on the theme of that balance between consultation and urgency.

When reflecting on the introduction of Bill S-2 and, of course, the amendments to the second-generation cut-off, and given that you recognized the urgency in your opening remarks, what do you see as the effect of the introduction of Bill S-2 and the amendments on the urgency of completing the consultation but at the same time feeling, rightly, the duty to complete the consultation in a good way?
