That is an important point. We have to be able to convince a third party, a judge actually, that the process was viable and that the effort made to consult the aboriginal people was significant. That is not a veto. Working with aboriginal people is not in itself necessary to make the decision a good one. Another test is in play. It must be shown that the process was bona fide and that it allowed the proper decision to be made.
