This amendment again is around clarity of language and alignment with the Nunavut Land Claims Agreement. In this particular one, it's the phrase, “without restricting the generality”, which is in the Nunavut Land Claims Agreement, section 12.9.2. The suggestion is it should be included in proposed subsections 69(1) and 137(1) of the bill: ...in order to make it clear that the regulatory authorities described in those sections also carry the general implementation duty referred to in subsection 68(1) and 136(1). Among other things, these words will notify any regulator that qualifies as a “department or agency” that it must not only craft terms and conditions so as to implement land use plans and project certificate, it must also exercise its powers to refuse authorizations where necessary in accordance with the same duties.
Again it's about consistency between the NLCA and this piece of legislation.
