The Liberals' subamendment is the one that's creating more bureaucracy because the minister would see it as consent only after they've seen the resolution—number one. Number two, for example, if there's a first nations water authority, how would their consent be shown? When we look at the definition, on the definitions page, of “First Nation governing body”, the “government or other entity that is authorized” probably doesn't need a band council resolution. Am I wrong in thinking that?
