Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  Certainly, sir. One of the features of this bill is, as has been noted, is the concept of a protection zone. Although this bill focuses on first nation lands, there is the ability of first nations and provincial governments and the federal government to set out a protection zone.

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. On behalf of the Department of Justice, I'd like to express my appreciation for being able to work on this groundbreaking bill with Indigenous Services Canada. We've worked through the drafting up to the current stage, and we are here to support Indigenous Services Canada and to help answer your questions as well.
