Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  I apologize. I don't have a specific answer for that, but I would be willing to provide it. We're just having technical difficulties in terms of trying to get this legislation. We thought that to save paper, instead of printing, we would put it on our wonderful technology. We're

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  On the general side, there are provisions where our conservation officers will have the capability to enforce any of the terms of conditions that are laid in. That's where this legislation will allow us to provide enforcement within the federal legislation in terms of our interes

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  With respect to any impact on the land within Nunavut, it has been our government's objective to have good, sound environmental stewardship. To protect that, we need some enforcement provisions to make sure the interests of the environment are considered, that we have a good, sou

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  I think there were two components to the questions. One is on funding for the institutions of public government in the NIRB. There is a process to fund them through another tri-party agreement that has to get done, and that's through the contract relating to the implementation of

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  As I mentioned, this draft legislation has already helped us review that huge project on the Mary River, and it's one that's given us certainty. There are definitely challenges, especially with the size and scope of the Mary River project. We're very pleased with how that process

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  Yes, it will. On the Nunavut Planning Commission, this legislation allows all three parties to sign off on the land use plan, so that would be the two governments and Nunavut Tunngavik Incorporated. Signing that brings certainty and acceptance on which part of the lands will be u

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  I'm going to refer that to NTI, Nunavut Tunngavik Inc., to answer. Their proposal for the implementation of the legislation, the passage of the legislation, still has to be worked on in terms of figuring out the funding portion. In terms of funding governments, there are provisio

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  As I mentioned in my opening comments, it will bring about certainty to the people of Nunavut. If there are any economic development opportunities in natural resources, there will be certainty that there will be a review process to allow for the environmental and economic opportu

December 5th, 2012Committee meeting

David Akeeagok

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  Yes. I think NTI, Nunavut Tunngavik, can speak for themselves on the comments they provided, but through the tripartite agreement, all three were comfortable enough to move this forward. There may be some technical wording they would rather see, but the three parties were satisfi

David Akeeagok

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  If the wording they are proposing to change, in terms of being consistent with the Nunavut land claims, the actual wording.... From my assessment, that 45 pages is based a lot on the wording of the legislation itself. We don't have an issue with changing words, but what we woul

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  Currently the Nunavut Planning Commission is conducting community consultations on the plan they have drafted, which will have a Nunavut-wide focus. That's taking place right now. I'm awaiting the community consultation results to see if there are going to be any amendments or an
