How much time do I have left?
A minute. I'm going to come back to an important question.
I want to come back to the distinction between consulting band councillors elected under the Indian Act and consulting first nations members. History has shown, and I have learned this from my own experience, that all too often, the government systematically consults the nine or however many band councillors, elected under the Indian Act, and then puts the project forward, claiming that it has consulted with the communities.
Do you realize that this is a problem in 2014? The government has to take steps to engage with and seek the approval of first nations members, not just the nine elected band councillors. The federal government has an obligation to engage all first nations members, not just elected ones.
