Thank you, Mr. Nadli. Premier McLeod.

Thank you, Ms. Bisaro. Premier McLeod, if you can join us at the witness table, please. Premier McLeod, if you can once again reintroduce your witnesses to the House.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Your committee has been considering Bill 1, Reindeer Act; Bill 2, Archaeological Sites Act; and Bill 3, Surface Rights Board Act, and would like to report progress and that Bills 1, 2 and 3 are ready for third reading. Mr. Speaker, I move that the report of Committee of the Whole be concurred with. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Madam Chair, I think the Premier knows fairly well that many Members on this side of the House support what has taken place, support devolution. There’s support where we’re moving forward here with mirror legislation. The concern we have is whether or not we’re actually able to have a wholesome and consultative debate with stakeholders after devolution within a meaningful period of time.

It’s clear today, with the information that’s provided, there is no mechanism whatsoever, there’s no protocol that’s legally binding, and so I’ll ask one final time: Is there anything that would give this...

Thank you, Mr. Nadli. We’ll actually go to Mr. Fulford for that.

We’ll turn your attention to discussions on review of Bill 3. With that, we’ll go to the proponent of Bill 3, Premier McLeod, for the opening comments.

To the bill as a whole.

Thank you, Madam Chair. We are now introducing another leg of this tool here, which is this protocol. So my question is: The protocol that is being discussed here today, is that protocol itself legally binding for a formal review of legislation to take place? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Nadli. Premier McLeod.

To the bill as a whole.
