Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Mr. Zimmer.
I'll pick up on that topic as well, just to keep things going there.
Thank you, all, for being here, by the way, for this important discussion.
All witnesses have raised concerns of some kind regarding this legislation. They also, of course, applaud the idea and motives behind the legislation. I think that's very important as well. Protection zones is one area that is very unclear and leaves much to the minister. The minister can make regulations without the consent of even the first nations, going forward.
I'll start with Chief Hill.
Do you also share those concerns about the minister having authority over first nations in terms of what the protection zones will be? As a follow-up, do you have ideas on what a protection zone should look like? We've asked many times over the course of this committee study what a protection zone is or should look like. Some folks don't know, or they have very different ideas.
