"That's where we want to establish, with regard to the new ruling, the treaty was in effect always 169, which is not necessary to apply a law to put into effect and if in some cases there was no consultation, done. The consultation is not binding but must be sincere and not a mere formality, in these cases the communities are entitled under to see if it has been in good faith, "he said.
