Thank you, Mr. Chair.
If we're talking about reconciliation with first nations, we also have to talk about local autonomy. We want specific language providing for minimum standards to address local circumstances, as long as those minimum standards meet the standards and conditions set out in sections 14 to 16.
In our view, this minor amendment will give first nations greater autonomy. It will also enable them to adopt some principles or laws that may change things involved in protecting their territory.
