I'm happy I got that on the record.

I definitely understand what NDP-9 is hoping to achieve. I have a question about how it fits with some of the rest of the bill, considering that clause 6 and paragraph 6(1)(b) highlight that first nation laws would be applied based on consultation and co-operation with provinces and territories as well.

I suppose this is a question for the witnesses.

Would NDP-9 contradict that in any way as it's written?
