Yeah, thanks, Madam Chair. I don't want to repeat my opening remarks on the committee report other than to thank the environment and climate change staff and the members of the technical working group for getting us a bill that was much, much better than Bill 44 in the last Assembly and working collaboratively with us.
But one area that I want to explore a bit here, and this was an area that the committee spent -- I guess a significant amount of time, at least in the early stages of our review, was the application of the bill as drafted. It seems to be a law of general application, and it wasn't clear to us how it would apply to private lands, Indigenous owned lands, surface leases, and so on. So can I get the Minister to talk a little bit about where this act would apply. Thanks, Madam Chair.
