Thanks to the comments from the Premier. A sad state of affairs indeed.

In changes to the Navigable Waters Protection Act under the new omnibus bill, 45, I understand Canada removed environmental protection on all but 97 major lakes and 62 rivers. Even some heritage rivers have had their protection yanked. Environmental review would no longer be required for any dam, road crossing, pipeline, mine, or bridge affecting water bodies not on that specific list. Reviews will be the responsibility of provinces except here, which is federal. We have that many lakes and rivers in the Weledeh riding alone.

Can the Premier confirm whether we were consulted on the composition of that list and confirm to this House what water bodies in the NWT, if any, are left on this skeleton-like remains?
