Thank you, Mr. Chair. This provision was to ensure Indigenous governments have an idea of what is going on in their settlement lands, which can be vast. As the Minister and we have stated, there have been concerns from industry about the confidentiality of that data, if it was public until we have the conversation about the content and how we would be asking them to report on that information. At this point, we need to leave that space to have the conversation with industry before we commit to making these notices public. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
