Mission
Chapter
24 of the JBNQA provides for the establishment of a special Hunting,
Fishing and Trapping Regime for the territory covered by the Agreements
(JBNQA and NEQA). In accordance with the regime, members of the
signatory native peoples (" the beneficiaries " of the
Agreements) are recognized as having certain rights with regard
to exploitation of wildlife in the Territory. Chapter 24 also establishes
a special Outfitting Regime for the Territory. The Coordinating
Committee has been given the responsibility to review, manage, and
in certain cases, supervise and regulate the regimes. It also participates
with the responsible minister of Canada or Québec in the
management of wildlife species in the Territory, either through
decisional or consultative recommendations as called for in each
case.
