Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I agree with the statement that Mr. Zoe has made, that before any type of new operations were to be established there should be an agreement entered into by the municipality and the government or the owner of the land, whoever it may be. Again, this is what the focus of this legislation is about, to make sure that the municipality has the explicit legal capacity to enter into that agreement. And then, if it's on Commissioner's land, the Commissioner has the explicit legal capacity to enter into that.
The legislation does not go into the details of what would be contained in that type of an agreement. Historically, what we have encouraged the municipalities and the communities to do is to develop their own rules and procedures and their own quarry administrative system that they would like to see in any such agreement. As it pertains to third parties, we would like to make sure that the municipalities and the communities have the legal capacity to take control of their own local concerns.
So we haven't gotten into that level of detail because we don't see that as a problem with the legislation. Once they have the legal capacity to enter into agreement, it would flow from that that they could set the terms and conditions that best suit their local needs.
