A protection zone.... I don't know. It seems to be after consultation at the discretion of the minister, and it doesn't seem to have any connection to how effective watershed management protection actually works.
Siksika gave a great example when they were here in June. They're 100 kilometres after every tributary of the Bow River basin comes to one point, so they will literally feel the impact from anything done in that watershed. The protection zone, effectively, for a nation like that, would be the entire watershed.
There's just nothing in the bill that seems to be connected to how that's actually done in Canada and other places in the world.
