Madam Speaker, certainly we did hear from the chiefs, and they do have concerns, but they are concerns with the government and its failed consultation processes, which I think the Liberal government in the last 10 years has shown.
The other thing is that of course we do agree with the wording; it is right in our motion about consent with indigenous nations. We are not backing away from consultation, which is right in our motion, but when Liberals talk about free, prior and informed consent, I think they are just playing games when it comes to UNDRIP and those things.
Where were the Liberals to defend consent on TMX for the ones who did not agree? Apparently it is just for some, not for all, so when they say “consent”, I think it is the Liberals' playing games, at the end of the day.
