In my experience, I would say, no, there isn't sufficient information forwarded to first nations. To go back to my earlier point, I think many of our nations are caught off guard in many respects. Depending on which level of government the consultative process is entered into, if you will, there are deadlines in terms of first nations' responses to a project or to aspects of a project. To your point, that becomes extremely problematic due to perhaps the lack of information, or of fulsome information, that's forwarded.
Then, from a leadership perspective, you need to fully understand it to make well-informed decisions. Those lead to aspects of FPIC, or free, prior and informed consent, as it relates to a project if we're speaking from an UNDRIP perspective. Then we're also looking at inherent treaty rights and the cultural perspective as well. When you look at the leadership of a first nation, they have their own consultation to do as well with their respective members—the elders, the youth, other leadership around the leadership table, and band membership—because these projects can benefit, but they can also have adverse impacts, once again, that we're left with.
My short answer would be no, and I guess that provides an opportunity to increase the level of capacity in first nations for understanding.
