I’m uncertain whether there’s a specific obligation under this act, but if there’s a proposal for development in any non-settled area, it would also be subject to the duty to consult where the matter might have the potential to adversely affect an Aboriginal right. So, at some point in the process, there must be consultation before activity is undertaken. When we’re talking about access to subsurface rights, I can’t imagine a case where there wouldn’t be consultation because of what is required to access subsurface rights. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
