Thank you, Mr. Chair.
In response, proposed section 134 concerns only terms and conditions that result from an impact assessment decision. It has no impact on implementing land-use plan requirements granting minor variances or ministerial exemptions. For this reason, in fact, the proposed wording is not required and could introduce uncertainty when linked to proposed section 134.
As a northerner myself—and if the member has a problem with that, obviously he should check the boundaries of my riding—I would say to him that this is going to be a piece of legislation that his own territorial government will be mirroring. He should be careful when he's making comments about “a government” when it turns out it is going to be governments doing this.
Thank you, Mr. Chair.
