Support in drafting a letter in response to a consultation request

Responding to government consultation requests

Are you constantly approached by several requests for government consultations, sometimes within short deadlines?

We can help you draft a response letter to help you respond quickly to requesters. This will leave a written record that the absence of a response is not a waiver of rights and does not mean that the First Nation consents to the activity that is the subject of the consultation.

If you consider that you do not have the time, resources or information to respond adequately, this letter reminds the government that the consultation does not constitute an appropriate consultation in terms of its constitutional obligations.

Depending on the context, different approaches and arguments can be raised to meet your needs. Contact us for support in drafting a letter of response to the consultations, which can then serve as a model that can be adapted to the different situations encountered by your team!
