I appreciate that.
You mentioned in your opening comments that there are a number of future regulations to be made at the whim of the minister. You identified that as a concern, and I share that concern as well.
In one instance, this is the case when it comes to defining protection zones set out in this legislation. A representative from the Department of Justice was here not long ago. It took him a few minutes, but I was able to get him to admit that this is the case. Although the legislation says that the minister will co-operate, there is no defining characteristic that says the minister has to have the consent of the first nation—or of the province or territory of jurisdiction, for that matter—to define a protection zone. It's just up to future regulation.
Do you think, based on what you said, that the minister should have that power, or do you believe that the minister should have to have the consent of the first nation before defining the protection zone?
