For sure.

As an example, when the Nunavut Act was negotiated and created, basically, they took the NWT Act and copy-and-pasted everything. For some reason, Nunavut also has the ability to manage wood, but we all know there's not a lot of wood in Nunavut. Basically, when the NWT Devolution Act repealed the order in council, it was an oversight and the order in council was repealed for Nunavut as well.

Does that answer your question?
