I think the objectives they are trying to achieve, we agree with and support, he added.

“Are you concerned that, by not providing a definition (of free, prior and informed consent), this could leave it up to interpretation in the courts, and ultimately delay the process of reconciliation, including the C-15 legislation?” Schmale asked Crown-Indigenous Relations Minister Carolyn Bennett.
