Thank you, Mr. Chair. I move that Bill 34 be amended by deleting subclause 52(1) and substituting the following:
52(1) Subject to this section, the holder of a mineral lease shall enter into an agreement for benefits in accordance with the regulations with each Indigenous government or organization that the Minister considers appropriate in the circumstances:
(a) If an undertaking authorized under the mineral lease meets the prescribed threshold; and
(b) When required by regulations in respect of a production license under subsection 46(3).
