I would say that we always face administrative delays when projects come from our community.
I remember back in 2020, when the community of Pessamit told me they had submitted a project for a protected area in the Pipmuacan sector. It took several months for the Quebec government to respond. It was radio silence for months.
I think communities are welcoming the intentions expressed by the Government of Quebec and all the measures that have been taken to meet its commitment to increase protected areas in Quebec, but communities still need to be much more than stakeholders.
This area in particular has seen a breakdown in the relationship between certain leaders and the Government of Quebec. This brings me back to the Superior Court decision. Time is running out for the caribou, which means time is also running out for there to be a real definition, a common definition of the government's duty to consult.
