It may have the same issue. In this amendment, we delete lines 21 to 23 on page 45. That removes the exemption from a participant funding program for assessments conducted through a substitution by another jurisdiction. A substitution, supposedly, the government is saying, could include federal officials appearing and speaking to matters related to federal...and certainly could include members of the public indigenous testifying and bringing forward evidence related to federal responsibility, even though the federal government has said that it will let a province or territory run the review.
There needs to be participant funding to cover anybody who is engaged in any hearing that is dealing with federal areas of responsibility. That should be taken out. Surely the government is going to provide participant funding for anybody who is speaking to matters related to federal jurisdiction in the review of a project.
