Clarify the definition of 'Safety' within the Regulatory Assessment and Approval Process (RAAP) and how it integrates with the safety requirements of non-Indigenous neighbors.
Strategic Rationale
"The text introduces the RAAP as a jurisdictional process where determinations hinge on 'safety' and 'Anishinaabe Values.' While respecting WLON's sovereignty, Melgund residents need assurance that this parallel regulatory framework does not supersede or conflict with federal safety standards required to protect unorganized territories. Specifically, the Working Group must determine if the RAAP's safety criteria include the physical safety and emergency response realities of Dyment and Borups Corners, or if the Proponent is operating under two distinct safety standards."
