“This bill does not change our duty to consult Indigenous peoples. It creates one main office to handle consultations, which cuts down on government red tape. We cannot build a strong country without working with Indigenous peoples.”
“Mr. Speaker, I want to be very clear. The building Canada strong act would not change the duty to consult. The bill proposes a centralized Crown consultation hub so that indigenous peoples can spend less time navigating government red tape and more time having meaningful conversations. Our government is focused on building Canada strong, and we cannot do that without indigenous peoples.”
