I'd like to start off by saying that, first of all, in the meetings we had with the minister and any federal officials, we stated up front that the meeting was not a consultation and that it was just a meeting to get an understanding from both sides. Consultation is a much deeper process. There should be a policy that we both have negotiated with one another, as we did with the province of Alberta. We always stated that the meetings we had were not consultation.
On November 2nd, 2017. See this statement in context.
