Yes, perfect. In terms of the consultation process, like I said earlier, there is no crown consultation. As far as I'm concerned, and as far as I know, Canada has a duty to consult with aboriginals, the first nations, prior to development, prior to the planning stages, and that doesn't happen.
What happens is that industry officials come to our town, Fort Chipewyan, and they consult with us. They tell us about their plans. They tell us about their projects. We don't see any government officials. We would love to sit down with the government to come up with safer and more adequate ways of mining this oil, which is going to ensure the safety of not only my children, but your children as well. All of our great-grandchildren, who haven't even been born yet, are going to be affected if this continues at this rate. All we're asking is that we have adequate consultation.
The process right now is flawed, in my opinion. We haven't consulted properly with any government officials. Our consultation is always with industry. It's always industry people, or ERCB. We would love to sit down at the table to consult with the federal government, on a monthly basis if possible. Every time a project is proposed, we would love to sit down with the government and consult.
We have all these foreign countries, foreign investors coming in, and these people don't even know who we are as indigenous people. We would love for them to know who we are as well.
It's the consultation process that has to be revamped.
