Thank you for the question.
The Magpie River has legal personhood status. In Canada, it’s the first river to get this kind of status. So, with legal personhood, the river has rights. The guardians of the river are people from the Ekuanitshit Innu community and the Minganie RMC.
Ultimately, recognizing the Magpie River’s status is what opened the way for the St. Lawrence River. It not only allowed the river to be protected, it also granted power to local communities, who were abandoned and forgotten. Today, the government of Quebec outlined its position by saying it would respect that decision and not conduct any development harmful to the river. The government of Quebec sent a good message. By the way, next Thursday, there will be a program on the CBC’s airwaves called I am the Magpie River.
I invite all of you to watch I am the Magpie River on CBC on February 1 at 9 p.m.. You are going to know more about the processes and how it's gaining more and more vision around the world.
I don't know if I have time to answer the other question.
