Mr. Speaker, this bill clearly states that we will work closely with indigenous peoples, first nations, Inuit and Métis. We have established five criteria to determine a project's importance. One of them states that the project has to serve the interests of indigenous peoples.
I would also like to point out that we have announced nearly $20 million in annual funding to support consultations and essential work in co-operation with indigenous peoples.
Finally, I want to emphasize the importance of the $10‑billion investment to support indigenous peoples' involvement.
