Thanks, Mr. Chair. I move that paragraph 22(2)(b) of Bill 34 be amended in each of the subparagraphs (i) and (ii) by striking out "or historical" and substituting "historical or municipal." Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Mr. O'Reilly. There is a motion. The motion is in order and is being distributed. To the motion. Mr. O'Reilly.
Thanks, Mr. Chair. This section of the bill is all about this idea of restricted areas. This gives Indigenous governments the ability to request temporary restrictions on areas of up to one year, that can be extended to two years, for a number of purposes including areas that might have unique, archaeological, cultural, ecological, geological, or historical significance. Of course, they have to cover the minimum area, and the area can be no larger than something that might be prescribed by regulations.
This would add in to those reasons why an Indigenous government may want to seek protection of an area so that it could serve municipal purposes. Of course, some Indigenous governments actually serve as municipal governments; one being the First Nation Council in Lutselk'e or Sambaa K'e or Wrigley. I think even in Tsiigehtchic, the council is basically the First Nation government.
Thank you. To the motion.
