New Brunswick is makingchanges to improve consultation

with First Nations, said Premier Brian Gallant, with the training of one person, at least, in each department on the duty to consult. Governments wait too long before beginning consultations, said Gallant. In people’s minds, it’s energy projects that require consultation, but it’s not limited to that. Any type of development, even the construction of a school, may impact a First Nation’s territory, he explained.
