Bob Zimmer at the Indigenous and Northern Affairs Committee

Thank you.

I agree with my colleague Mr. Melillo.

I'm from British Columbia. We have the Columbia River system. I have the Peace River in my riding, which affects Northwest Territories and beyond. Again, the Columbia River affects British Columbia and the U.S. Anything we do is going to have an effect on other jurisdictions. To me, the possible impact of this—despite your saying that it's limited by its scope—could still have a dramatic effect on water in those jurisdictions, plain and simple.

I'm concerned about this provision.
