I'd like to move and speak to it. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
This particular amendment deals with the cost of the commission and board. We heard extensive discussion earlier, Mr. Chair. First of all, we've had testimony both from the commission and the board indicating that they don't have the funding currently in place to do their current duties. We heard from the department today that they haven't done the analysis on the incremental cost of what would now be required of the review board and the commission.
Some assurance had been provided in the fact that there is an ability to make regulation with respect to funding, but you'll forgive me, Mr. Chair, in that the history over the last several years.... This is not a partisan remark; it goes back many years. We just need to look at the land claims implementation coalition about land claims agreements negotiated a couple of decades ago, and see they still don't have adequate funding. So you'll forgive me for saying that there simply is not the level of trust, and we would like to see it included in the legislation around funding.
Now I'll allow you to rule it inadmissible.
