I think the federal government should be less skittish about enforcing the clauses of the agreement that say the community has to be consulted. It should also describe what it considers an acceptable consultation. For the moment, the provinces may or may not consult us. There's no pressure from the federal government. Now that we're going to negotiate with the province, it would be a good thing if the federal government put some pressure on it and urged it to consult us.
