I will respond to one point. I wonder whether my colleague would address the point I made earlier, that the amendment in question, which refers to aboriginal rights, amendment NDP-16, is derived from many other statutes in the federal domain.
Does he worry that failure to include it here would draw attention to the fact that there is no such clause here, whereas there is in so many other statutes? Doesn't that provide the potential for a problem that could be eliminated by simply doing here what you do so frequently in other statutes?
