Thank you, Mr. Chair. I represent six communities in Nahendeh. Four of them are designated authorities, one is a hamlet, and one is village. I think that each community should be treated the same and equal. In four of those communities that are designated authorities are Indigenous governments. We are dealing with land issues all of the time and people looking to explore around the area. It's a complicated issue, and I agree, but across the territory is very complicated. I have to be respectful of the IRC, the Gwich'in, the Sahtu. However, they also have to be respectful of the Dehcho and the Akaitcho.
This is why I think that this needs to be in the act. We need to be consistent. When we build capacity in some of these communities, when you have two different ways of looking at two different acts, it confuses them and confuses us. We are not able to move forward. I think that we need to be consistent. The government needs to be consistent. This is way I believe that this motion is important and needs to be passed. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
