Obviously, this question is best put to representatives of indigenous persons, so I have looked to them for the content of my answer.
In February 2021, for example, many distinguished indigenous signatories wrote to Parliament that the consultation here has not been adequate and “has not taken into account the existing health disparities and social inequalities we face compared to non-Indigenous people”. They said, “our population is vulnerable to discrimination and coercion...and should be protected against unsolicited counsel”.
Another witness before the Senate in February 2021 was Dr. Rod McCormick, himself an indigenous person, who said, “our people die of complex and higher rates of disease than the general population”. When they are “already overrepresented at every stage of our health system, it seems ironic to provide...another path to death”.
Finally, Dr. Richardson, who was before the Senate on February 3, 2021, said, “In an environment where both systemic and interpersonal racism exists, I don’t trust that Indigenous people will be safe.” She said, “a bill that does not actually take into account how social [inequalities] disproportionately affect Indigenous [persons] is highly problematic”.
The sum and substance of all of that is this: How much consultation could there be that would remove those deep, abiding, permanent concerns of indigenous Canadians with respect to the mental health care system in Canada in relation to the psychosocial stressors they face? I don't believe there could be adequate consultation, but I believe those are representative voices from indigenous persons.
