Again, I would just like to say I want to speak to the amendment of clause 3. The amendment provides wording that better reflects the primary purpose of the proposed amendments to the Territorial Parks Act by bringing it in line with the spirit, intent, goals and objectives of the protected areas strategy. This amendment clarifies that the intent of creating wilderness conservation areas is to protect the core representative areas and to prohibit industrial activity. It also makes it clear that these areas are not to be created until industrial activity can be prohibited by both the GNWT and the federal government. This follows the process set out in the protected areas strategy. Thank you.
