The short answer is “no”, but only because of the short timelines and also because this bill is about consultation. I think if this bill is passed, it will create a framework for consultation that consultation should include all the stakeholders, including the indigenous community. The conversation, if we're going to have it at all, needs to happen quickly. I would hate for us to miss this opportunity by spending months consulting on whether we should consult.
