Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I move to amend Bill C-61, in clause 6, by replacing lines 29 to 33 on page 8 with the following:
(b) water and source water in a protection zone, if a First Nation governing body, the Government of Canada and the government of the province or territory in which the protection zone is located have
What that does is it creates that additional clarity around the definition of protection zones by removing “adjacent to”. We heard that from many witnesses. It's also further clarity around who is involved in determining the parameters of a protection zone. You'll see as we get there that it's about allowing indigenous communities to have that control. It responds to requests from first nations and legal experts.
