Environment committee  Last year was very different for us because the fires burned nine times the number of forests in our parks. That requires a lot of work from the agency and a lot of coordination with our provincial and territorial partners. Further, we have a monitoring program to measure the eff

Environment committee  We consult with all first nations. I can tell you that I'm involved in some consultations that involve 19 first nations. They may self-organize and decide how they want to be represented at the table, but that is their choice, not ours. We don't assume one or the other. We invite

Environment committee  I think there are three things to consider. One is the timing. Allow for a bit more work, particularly on the boundaries.

We're in what we call a pre-feasibility stage, where everyb

Environment committee  I think that's a difficult question for us to answer. I don't want to speak on behalf of any nations. I would say that our process is to consult both first nations.

Environment committee  At this time, Parks Canada is not administering that Ojibway Shores property at all.

Environment committee  The first public meetings associated with the draft policy were when the minister did the minister's round table in 2020. We've been working with select partners and expert groups and getting feedback on the draft. We'll be going to public consultation shortly. We have to consult
