Thanks for the question.
I won't reiterate conversations we've been having at this table for a while now.
We did talk about a protection zone being laws aligned between provinces, territories and first nations, a defined space. We talked about water moving from point A to point B. We've removed the concept of adjacency, although I think there are still provisions to follow.
The “connected to” term relates to.... We've talked about watersheds and rivers that flow and move, so it brings, I would say, some permanency to the concept that waters do flow and move. First nations are sometimes impacted by those watersheds, so it's less about being directly beside it; it's more about being part of an ecosystem of water that may impact a first nation.
