In following up, there are some communities out there that don't have the capacity to work on co-development. If I'm a first nations community that has asked the minister to take on something around protection zones in this enforcement criteria, for some communities that don't have the capacity to work with federal officials on co-developing something, instead of just asking the minister to do something in a BCR, could this extra portion about co-development add delays to communities without the capacity to negotiate or co-develop something around protection zones?
