Thanks, Chair.
I think that would be a wonderful subamendment that Ms. Idlout just mentioned, which would be to add “spiritual needs” to PV-2.
To the concerns raised by my government colleagues, Mr. Battiste and Mrs. Atwin, with respect to adding “economic”, I would offer that should there be concerns about fracking, there could be other legislation that would ban fracking, for example.
However, this isn't the place to be prescribing economic activity. This is the place to ensure that the legislation that's designed to support water in first nations communities is provided. Should there be certain economic activities that we don't support, we would support other legislation to address that.
Thank you.
