Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I will commit to doing that. I think it is important to recognize that much of the legislation has to be done in partnership with the aboriginal communities, leaders and organizations. In many cases, they have constitutional rights, rights through their claims legislation, through treaties and other instruments that require us to proceed in partnership with them.
The timetable and extent and form of consultation is to be decided in partnership with them. I will undertake to do that as soon as the initial round of consultation is concluded at the end of this month.
