Comité conjoint de chasse, de pêche et de piégeage/
The provisions of Section 24 of JBNQA and Section 15 of the NEQA established a Hunting, Fishing and Trapping Regime specific to the Territory under the JBNQA and the NEQA, which provides certain rights to the Cree, Inuit and Naskapi (“beneficiaries”) with regards to harvesting of wildlife. Provisions of this regime also include an Outfitting Regime which affords beneficiaries certain rights regarding the establishment and operation of outfitting enterprises.
The Coordinating Committee participates with the Governments of Canada and Québec in the management of wildlife species through decisional or consultative recommendations. The Coordinating Committee may initiate, discuss, review and propose all measures relating to the Hunting, Fishing and Trapping Regime in the Territory. The responsible Ministers have discretion to act upon such recommendations in accordance with the consultation process established by the Regime. All regulations relating to the Hunting, Fishing and Trapping Regime proposed by the responsible governments are submitted to the Coordinating Committee for advice before enactment.
