I think the most important point is that there is no one-size-fits-all. How they want to be consulted is a question that has to be asked to the Mi'kmaq nation and Treaty 4 and the Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs. In fact, there are many first nations or aggregate groups of first nations across the country that actually have their own consultation protocols that say, “Here's how we actually want to work with you on a wide range of issues. Send us your information and we'll set up meetings.” The problem is that it doesn't happen. It's not for lack of trying and if you want to know how first nation consultations should take place in the different groups across the country, you should ask them.
The reality is, though, that it's been asked and answered and asked and answered and asked and answered, but the local officials don't abide by that. They abide by the default federal government position, which is to do the minimal and just have information sessions or not even that, in some cases. On free trade, it's been zero.
