Thanks, Mr. Chair. I move that subclause 10(2) of Bill 38 be amended by deleting paragraph (b) and substituting the following:

(b) if the Minister is satisfied that the area meets the purpose of this act, unless,

(i) in the case of a nomination by an Indigenous government or organization, the nominating party has no asserted or established Aboriginal right or title in the area nominated;

(ii) the nomination covers all of the public land within an area of asserted or established Aboriginal right or title;

(iii) the nomination is frivolous, vexatious, or malicious;

(iv) the nomination is solely within municipal boundaries; or

(v) the nomination does not meet any prescribed eligibility criteria.

Thank you, Mr. Chair.
