Thank you very much, Chair.
I would like to begin, in the spirit of discussions that have preceded this moment, to make a friendly amendment to this. In proposed subsection 63.1(1), where it says, “the Minister shall enter into negotiations with representatives of provincial and territorial governments”, I would propose to add the phrase, “member of aboriginal, Métis, and Inuit communities”, and then carry on with “representatives of relevant private sector companies and non-governmental organizations”.
