I take the interjection of 'shame'. I hardly think it's shameful to consult with First Nations peoples about the implementation of these recommendations. Frankly, Senator Thorpe, I'm surprised that you think it's shameful that we would consult with First Nations peoples. I think that is exactly the right approach for us to take, and that is the way we will ensure that delivering on the recommendations of this report actually respects the rights and interests of First Nations people. I'd like to think that you would support that.
