Thank you, Mr. Chair. We would have timely decisions made. Again, they are listed. We did accept standing committee's motion to add a clause that an area nominated shall be considered by the Minister without delay. There is a process where that would be nominated, either by an Indigenous government or by the GNWT, and there is quite a process that would move forward between bringing forward a nominated area to Executive Council for their approval as a candidate area, and some of those pieces include the area being reviewed against the purpose of the act. The GNWT must discharge its duty to consult. We would need a description of the boundary sufficient for interim protection. That must be completed. We would need consent from any private land owners, and we would need to make sure that adequate interim surface and subsurface protection public land must be in place. Obviously, Mr. Chair, we would expect that this would take an amount of time into the months to be undertaken. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
