Message: Fort Hope's courtroom win... implications for ROF?

Wondering if anyone has seen this coverage today:

While the decision and reasons are case specific, they have implications for consultation practice in the ROF, whether about exploration, mines, or roads. Note the last paragraph on the NNL site:

Chief Atlookan added: “We stand in unity with our fellow Matawa First Nations as we make progress towards reconciliation through real involvement with decisions that may impact our members for generations. This case shows that the previous government was not fulfilling its obligations according to a reasonable and honourable standard for exploration projects, so there is tremendous concern over lack of information and any decision-making role in future major projects and developments. The way forward begins with recognition of our rights, not attempts to dismiss them as we saw with Landore and MNDM. We look forward to dialogue with the new Ontario government on meaningful joint decision-making within environmental, permitting, infrastructure, and other land management processes.”
