Agreed, definately a game changer!!!! We finally have the ability to protect our lands and resources!!!! This from Keith Hunter from the Supreme Court Ruling Tsilhqot’in Nation v. British Columbia, 2014 SCC 44: 96....The Crowns duty to consult was breached when Crown officials engaged in the planning process for the removal of timber. The inclusion of timber on Aboriginal title land in a timber supply area, the approval of cutblocks on Aboriginal title land in a forest development plan, and the allocation of cutting permits all occurred without any meaningful consultation with the Tsilhqotin. 97. ...I add this. Governments and individuals proposing to use or exploit land, whether before or after a declaration of Aboriginal title, can avoid a charge of infringement or failure to adequately consult by obtaining the consent of the interested Aboriginal group .
