Thank you, Chair.
On behalf of Mr. Melillo, I will move CPC-8.
It reads that Bill C-61 be amended by adding, after line 8 on page 14, the following new clause:
24.1 (1) A First Nation law does not apply in a protection zone unless the Minister enters into an agreement with the First Nation governing body that made the law and the government of the province or territory in which the First Nation lands are located respecting the administration and enforcement of the First Nation law.
(2) The parties to the agreement may include a municipal government or any public body acting under the authority of the First Nation.
If you have something to say about it, Chair, I will wait until you have your say before I proceed any further, if that's all right.
