Committee Motion 222-18(3): Bill 34: Mineral Resources Act - Amend Clause 24(7), Defeated  Thank you, Mr. Chair. We are going to continue prospecting permits. What we are changing is making this not just a tool for our government, but an Indigenous-led partnership to attract responsible exploration, and we'll continue to do that when we do the regs development and have

Committee Motion 222-18(3): Bill 34: Mineral Resources Act - Amend Clause 24(7), Defeated  I will repeat exactly what I said, Mr. Chair. I said, "I myself have a whole lot of confidence in our partners and Indigenous governments to effectively represent their interests. It seems certain Members may not share that confidence." That's what I said, Mr. Chair.

Committee Motion 222-18(3): Bill 34: Mineral Resources Act - Amend Clause 24(7), Defeated  Thank you, Mr. Chair. I myself have a whole lot of confidence in our partners and Indigenous governments to effectively represent their interests. It seems that certain Members may not share that confidence. Zones cannot override requirements under any other legislation. The fav

Committee Motion 222-18(3): Bill 34: Mineral Resources Act - Amend Clause 24(7), Defeated  Thank you, Mr. Chair. Yes, but we would have to consult with Indigenous governments. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Committee Motion 222-18(3): Bill 34: Mineral Resources Act - Amend Clause 24(7), Defeated  Thank you, Mr. Chair. Zones can be created by a nomination from Indigenous governments. Zones were included in the bill to create a method for Indigenous governments to drive where and how they could attract investment within their lands if they so choose. Zones were intended to

Recorded Vote  Thank you, Mr. Chair. It's not about a municipality's status. The entire restricted area provision was designed to provide an emergency tool to protect sensitive areas recently discovered from irreparable harm. It is in the spirit of reconciliation and recognizing the inherent ri

Recorded Vote  Thank you, Mr. Chair. I'm going to put this on the public record again. The restricted are provision is not designed to protect things like municipal infrastructure. They are planned projects where existing issues can be studied and addressed, infrastructure located, planned and

Recorded Vote  Thank you, Mr. Chair. I think the point on this whole thing is it's not the Mineral Resources Act to have that discussion. It would be a broader government discussion, and maybe that's a discussion that needs to take place with the Department of MACA. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Recorded Vote  Thank you, Mr. Chair. During the public engagement session, this wasn't a concern that was raised, but maybe it was possibly raised with the SCEDE's engagement. I am not sure. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Recorded Vote  Thank you, Mr. Chair. It is not the intention of this motion. As I have said, I laid out the intention of it. Municipal infrastructure is not any of these. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Recorded Vote  Thank you, Mr. Chair. The intention of what a restricted area is to be is more to protect sensitive areas that are set for a set amount of time for the long term and find long-term use solutions. Moreover, restricted areas are justified by unique attributes, fragile attributes th

Recorded Vote  Thank you, Mr. Chair. No, there is not. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Committee Motion 215-18(3): Bill 34: Mineral Resources Act - Amend paragraph 17.1(1)(q), Defeated  Thank you, Mr. Chair. As I have said before, royalties is a subject of a conversation we've had many times in this House. As another Member's opening comments said, there needs to be a wider context of what is actually included in what the mineral industry contributes to the Nort

Committee Motion 215-18(3): Bill 34: Mineral Resources Act - Amend paragraph 17.1(1)(q), Defeated  Thank you, Mr. Chair. That's a conversation that we have to have with our producers going forward, and we've talked about this many times with the committee. This is a complex issue, as I've said before in this House, and it's a conversation that deserves its own time. We need to

Committee Motion 215-18(3): Bill 34: Mineral Resources Act - Amend paragraph 17.1(1)(q), Defeated  Thank you, Mr. Chair. Yes, it might, but it's a self-reporting mechanism. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
