When I think back to some of the work we've done over the past handful of years, there have definitely been some positive strides. Does it go far enough? In my experience, I think that first nations need an increasingly developed process to ensure there is consistent oversight when it comes to a project, so that when advice is provided or rights assertions are provided, we have a clear understanding on how that's received and how that information finds its way in terms of the overall future of a given project.
Many times, as first nations, we discuss with the Impact Assessment Agency or the Canada Energy Regulator, but once we've shared what our concerns are of potential impacts, we don't necessarily understand where that information goes, how it's deliberated on or how decisions are made based on the assertions of first nations.
