Bob McLeod Yellowknife South

Thank you, Madam Chair. I think we found the applicable section, so through you, if I can get Ms. McLaughlin to provide it.

Consideration in Committee of the Whole of Bills and Other Matters

Mclaughlin

Thank you, Madam Chair. The regulation-making authority at Section 63.1(k) references the ability to prescribe fees to be paid for the right to use water or deposit of water, filing of application and for inspections. If I could add another note respecting the public register in addition to Mr. Fulford’s, I believe the section that was referenced is 53(3), and in that section it speaks to making copies of the contents available on payment of a fee, which might be of assistance in answering the question.

Bob Bromley

Bob Bromley Weledeh

Thank you, Madam Chair. Hopefully, these will be electronically available and we won’t have to worry about that.

Finally, I don’t see any provisions for participant funding or for applicants to cover some or all of the costs of those who wish to intervene such as is the case, for example, with the Public Utilities Board, and I suspect I could tell myself the answer: We’re mirroring legislation. I guess that’s all the questions I have. I just hope that that’s all we’re mirroring. The evidence is quite to the contrary of that, unfortunately, that we’re also mirroring a lack of transparency and other things, but that’s something we’ll continue to work on. That’s all I have. Thank you.
