What risks? Definition brings clarity, absolute clarity in law, which provides a rubric or a boundary over how a protection zone will be applied. The ancillary point to that or the opposite point to that is it does become rigorous.
As you've heard from many witnesses, the fabric and the realities of many first nations vary considerably. The definition for protection zone should potentially respect the geographic and historical differences across this country, including the relationship with provinces and territories. The question is around entrenching in law a definition that does provide clarity. The opposite side of the same coin is the rigidity of that language and the difficulty of changing that language once a bill becomes law.
