Thank you so much.
I wanted to then ask both witnesses about the lack of direction given in this bill about protection zones.
The way that I understand this bill is that jurisdiction to first nations regarding source water would not happen until the protection zone negotiations happen at a later date. This lack of clarity is what I am concerned about because then your first nations would have to either consult or work with provinces or municipalities. You would have to negotiate with another level of government before that protection zone negotiation happens.
I wonder if maybe both of you could respond to your concerns regarding that lack of clarity.
