Thank you.
Other witnesses here have told us that Bill C-428 would introduce a bylaw publication requirement that other jurisdictions don't have to follow. It is more onerous. Clause 10 would require that the bylaws be published on the band's Internet's site, in the First Nations Gazette, and in a newspaper generally available on reserve. This is instead of the minister's approval now.
But I understand, through a bit of inside information, that Mr. Clarke is considering an amendment to his bill that would require the publication of the new bylaw in only one of these places, instead of all three.
Does the CBA have an opinion on this potential amendment? Again, how would it compare to other jurisdictions' publication requirements?
