Senator Back, beyond consultation across government and opposition stakeholders, a range of notification processes will be used to ensure the information is disseminated as broadly as possible and the area covered by the declaration is readily identifiable by the public.

The judicious use of section 119.3 of the Criminal Code is one of the several tools at the government's disposal, which we will use to achieve that end.
