Thanks, Mr. Chair. I move that subclause 24.7 of Bill 34 be deleted and the following substituted:

(7) A zone may be established under subsection (2), and the regulations establishing a zone may set out requirements that the Minister considers appropriate on the Minister's own initiative or as recommended by the proposing Indigenous government or organizations after

(a) the Minister engages with the applicable Indigenous governments and organizations in respect of the requirements; and

(b) a reasonable opportunity has been provided by the Minister for the public to provide comments on the merits of the proposed zone.

Thank you, Mr. Chair.
