Le comité n'a jamais accepté les remarques incidentes du jugement Carrier-Sekani. Il convient toutefois de signaler que même si on admettait que ces remarques incidentes sont fidèles à la loi, il est clair que dans ce cas, la Cour a examiné la question de la prise de règlements accordant des exemptions au Règlement.
The committee has never accepted the obiter remarks in Carrier-Sekani, although it bears pointing out that, even if one were to accept those remarks as accurately stating the law, the court, in that case, was clearly dealing with exemptions from regulations that were granted by regulations.
