Thank you.
First, I firmly believe that if we had upheld our treaty responsibilities as a partner in Canada, we wouldn't be in the position we are in right now. I just want to put on the record my deep respect for the treaty relationship.
I do have concerns, though, that this could perhaps be outside the scope of the bill. Would this amendment attempt to create authorities over treaty lands outside of first nation lands as well? Can you just explain the implications of including this piece?
I also want to add that we do want to continue the conversation more broadly about treaty rights to water, which does come in an amendment further down the list.
