Thank you for the question.
This goes to the heart of what I believe and speculate may be the reason for delaying the implementation of Bill S-2: Minister Gull-Masty's making comments to the effect of her having a duty to consult. I would put that back to the members of the Senate. Is it the position of the government that there is a legal duty to consult when legislating, or does it take the position that there is a legal duty to consult that's triggered when legislating with respect to the rights of indigenous peoples?
