Thank you, Mr. Chair.
It's a little late now, but I would like to say how much I appreciated Mr. Rankin's efforts there to amend the legislation.
What I'm trying to do in the next amendment, similarly, is to try to ensure consultation with the appropriate authorities. I was in previous consultation with Mr. Rankin. We may not have come up with all the appropriate ones, but at page 321 what we're attempting to do is to add that steps can be taken only after consultation with the federal Minister of the Environment, the Minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development, the Executive Council of Nunavut, and the Nunavut Impact Review Board.
There may be additional authorities that others might wish to add, but it's an attempt to make sure that in the rollover of the Canadian Polar Commission we don't lose track of other important authorities.
Thank you.
