Thank you.
I would like to note that with these federal changes, “The duty to consult is a constitutional obligation that arises when the Crown considers conduct that might adversely affect potential or established Aboriginal or treaty rights under section 35 of the Constitutions Act”. This change, in fact, “enhances equality and rectifies past injustices.”
This is not an adverse effect. This is going to enhance their quality of life and support the perpetuation of indigenous people. Unless somebody wants to suggest that we're not in support of perpetuating the lives of indigenous people, there's no reason to continue consulting.
