This legislation fits in a fabric of laws that exist in current-day Canada, and fills a gap that we've talked about before in terms of a regulatory gap on reserve and the recognition of rights. It's about the alignment of those things.
I think you're right. We all have a duty, as Canadians, to pass water that is both clean and safe on to future generations. A previous question was about enforceability. First nations could pass laws that create stricter and enforceable measures to protect the waters under their purview in, on and under their lands. That is a very opaque zone right now, and this legislation would knit that up.
