Lori Idlout at the Indigenous and Northern Affairs Committee

Qujannamiik, Iksivautaq.

I am glad that we're back to NDP-24. I'll reread the proposed amendment. It is that Bill C-61 be amended by adding after line 27 on page 10 the following new clause:

14.1 The quality of water and source water available on the First Nation lands of a First Nation and in a protection zone under the jurisdiction of that First Nation must at least meet the First Nation’s needs for the purpose of exercising its Aboriginal and treaty rights, among other purposes.
