Thanks, Mr. Chair. The purpose of this motion is to try to address this vacuum that exists about how regulations are going to be made in virtually all of the post-devolution legislation going forward.
Committee tried to secure some sort of understanding agreement of the Minister moving forward on how regulations would be developed, and once again, we were told that there would be some sort of mysterious government-wide approach developed that has not revealed itself so far. There is no assurance that the Indigenous governments, organizations, and the public, interested stakeholders, are going to have any level of engagement and involvement in the development of regulations on any of these bills moving forward, other than the oil and gas ones, because of some residual brilliance from the federal government in requiring gazetting of regulations. Unfortunately, our government, our Cabinet, has not seen fit to provide an avenue for public comment on regulations moving forward. That is what this recommendation is meant to deal with. Thanks, Mr. Chair.
