The Naskapi community actually is just outside of Nunavik. It's just south of the 55th parallel. Their traditional lands are clearly north, in Nunavik, but the community itself isn't part of Nunavik.
The question about the territorial claims, I think, is one that's critical to hear, because it's been addressed by the land claim agreements. When you talk about the use of lands and the application of laws, the Naskapi have particular hunting, fishing, and trapping rights. There are lines on maps indicating what their rights are and how their rights have to be respected.
What we're talking about here aren't land claims; we're talking about governance. When the NQIA, the Inuit negotiator, sat down to negotiate the James Bay and Northern Quebec Agreement and it came to governance, they opted for public government, which came under Quebec jurisdiction. The Naskapi said no. They had an option and they went for having their lands strictly under the control of the Naskapi, not public government, and for their institutions to come under federal jurisdiction.
There are two different concepts. One is a broader public concept where the territorial reach of their jurisdiction is not limited to lands reserved for the aboriginal people in question. All of the Inuit communities are public. The minute there is a influx of people for mining, or whatever, they could lose control of their institutions. On the other hand, since they are public institutions, the territorial reach of their jurisdiction goes beyond what would be considered category 1A lands. And these are implemented by Quebec. It's the only area where the Inuit are aboriginal people under subsection 91(24) of the Constitution, but these laws are put in place by the Quebec National Assembly because they're laws of general application; they apply to all of the people of the territory. So the school board, the health board, the Kativik municipal government, or supramunicipal government, were all put in place as broad public institutions. And the only exercise under way today is simply to amalgamate the existing organizations.
It's somewhat radical, because you don't have in any province or a territory an institution that somewhat mirrors what the province does. But this doesn't add to anything; it is simply taking what already exists. And the territory, the Kativik Regional Government, the Kativik school board, the health board, etc., have jurisdiction over the area north of the 55th parallel—
