“This bill lets First Nations, provinces, territories, and the federal government work together on shared water while respecting everyone's powers. Does the member agree that this teamwork is a good thing that will help the law last?”
“Madam Speaker, when watersheds are shared, the legislation provides a framework for collaboration that allows first nations, provinces, territories and the federal government to work together while respecting existing jurisdictions. Does my hon. colleague from Abitibi—Témiscamingue see this approach as beneficial and likely to ensure that the law stands the test of time?”
