Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I agree. It's up to Ms. Idlout, of course, if she wants to park it. I don't think it needs to be parked, necessarily. I think we can move forward from this.
Not to take away from what Mr. Schmale said—I agree with much of his sentiment—I would urge caution in the discussion. Obviously, there are a lot of amendments dealing with protection zones. I think it's important that we have a fulsome discussion about that at the appropriate time. I also think it's very important that we as a committee understand our role. In my opinion, it should be to ensure that first nation voices, provincial and territorial voices, can be heard, and that there is free, prior and informed consent by first nations, for example. I think that it's not necessarily time to get too rigid on that aspect of it.
I'll end it there. I think we got a little bit deeper than just this amendment in our discussion, but I'm also happy to move this along to a vote if Ms. Idlout's agreeable.
