Thank you, Madam Chair. I think it's important to note that the department and the technical working group collectively -- there are things that the Member has brought forward that we see as being very important to look at during the regulation development process but not for the statute itself. Elevating the bylaws to the statute removes the opportunity to work with the municipalities on a process that meets everyone's need while developing those regulations. And adding zoning bylaws to this provision creates a legislative problem as the GNWT would be bound to comply with bylaws that are only created by the power that the GNWT delegates. So there's more work that needs to be done on this through the regulation development process. Thank you, Madam Chair.
