I'll start briefly with the memorandum of understanding.
No, the first nations in assembly were clear in December that there was a concern in moving forward with that MOU without the full free, prior and informed consent of first nations. In the resolution that the national chief referenced, there are specific calls to the Government of Canada to reflect those concerns of first nations.
In terms of the 11 projects referred to the Major Projects Office, there is a varying amount of first nations participation. Many of those projects are already quite far advanced. Our position is to consider the diversity of first nations and also support the ongoing consideration of how the Major Projects Office and the Building Canada Act operate, once there is a project that is formally designated to the MPO and through the BCA.
