I was involved in a highway project in New Brunswick a few years ago. On the front end of it, they engaged some of the first nations communities where the highway was going through in a traditional ecological knowledge study. That was done for the whole route of the highway. I guess in some of our federal-provincial projects...and that one would have been, because it would have been federal money going into the project.
Do you find, as part of your process, that doing some of these studies where they cross traditional lands suffice in the duty to consult, or do you find that maybe sometimes they trigger a lot more issues? What I'm thinking about is whether you'd have conflicts in the timelines because of things you might find during these traditional ecological knowledge studies.
