One of the JBACE’s mandates is to study and comment, before their ministerial sanction, the Tactical Plans for Integrated Forest Development covering the territory subject to Section 22 of the JBNQA.
In 2018-2019, the JBACE commented on several draft regulations and government initiatives, as well as moving forward with its projects.
The JBACE is proud to present its new guide on best practices for project proponents for public participation.
In 2017-2018, the Cree, provincial and federal governments’ legislative and regulatory agendas were particularly busy and the JBACE commented several major legislative environmental revisions from all levels of government.
The JBNQA Territory is subject to diverse pressures as a result of the expansion of human occupation and the development of its natural resources. It is recognized that the institutions and procedures stemming from the JBNQA contribute to ensuring the participation of the Cree in decisions and in the protection of the Territory and of Cree rights.
