Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to thank all of the chiefs here for taking part in this important discussion and for the testimony.
Chief Moonias, it's good to see you. I really appreciate what you shared already, and I thank you for sharing the suggested amendments as well. I do appreciate that.
I want to go into one other question around future regulations, and it was just alluded to. Much of this bill is left to future regulations to be determined by the minister. Of course, there's an expectation the minister would consult and co-operate with first nations in making those regulations, but there is the ability for the minister to move forward in defining regulations for things like protection zones, as an example, without the consent of a first nation.
I'll ask the question of Chief Louis, but, Darian, if you want to jump in from a legal perspective, please feel free to share the time as you wish. I want to ask if you have concerns about many of these things being defined in future regulations, potentially without the consent of the first nations impacted.
