16 would significantly impact the energy industry. Land owners sitting over crown mineral rights would be able to to Sue to delay saying there was no due process.
It’s almost a guarantee that various groups would use this to endlessly tie up any type of development. People get frustrated with the duty to consult with First Nations. Now give every land owner a more extreme version of that power.
