Thank you, Mr. Chair.
The reason G‑9 is being proposed is that the elements it seeks to add to the bill were not part of the bill at the outset, when it was drafted. What elements of protection for first nations does this amendment add to the bill that were not there at the outset? I'd like to understand why we want to add this now.
We also know that there are still boil water advisories and other water-related issues. Some individuals have already been compensated. There is no risk of prosecution yet. So I'd like a clearer understanding of the consequences for the individuals concerned.
