There's no question that government has a critical role to play when it comes to respecting the constitutional rights of indigenous peoples. I would say that many of us are deeply concerned about the way in which Wet'suwet'en voices were not respected. We are currently dealing with the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, which is a framework, frankly, for reconciliation. Part of that is free, prior and informed consent. For us, it's very critical that this be followed.
I want to ask some of our other witnesses, as well, about what Canada needs to get right, right now.
Mr. Subramaniam, your presentation touched on the role of innovation and making sure we reach climate targets that will realistically slow global warming. You have worked on smart grid systems, on electrifying transport. What do you think the government could do to prioritize clean exports? Where are there barriers?
What can we be doing to make Canada a climate champion on the international stage?
