Thank you.
We want to acknowledge that there are positive steps by which the legislation is referenced, but there are elements of UNDRIP that need to be further included in the bill. In my opening remarks, I specifically referred to the ministerial advisory committee. There are other elements of this legislation that require direct correlation with UNDRIP. As we know, the right approach is a rights-based approach.
Lastly, I think it's important to remind ourselves that any major project, as was mentioned, must go through the Impact Assessment Act.
This bill, Member Kram, is not related. This bill is specifically looking to ensure that we are keeping on track with our targets with respect to conservation. Being from Yukon, it is important that I share that the impacts of the project with respect to this legislation is zero. It would be then, rather, directed to the IAA.
