The Nunavut Land Claims Agreement makes a distinction between cabinet that approves land use plans and the department and agencies that implement them. We don't think this is a gap, because there is a process for examining proposals to establish a park described in the agreement that has been carried forward into this bill. It involves the Nunavut Planning Commission deciding whether park proposals conform to the plan and the Nunavut Impact Review Board assessing potential impacts of establishing a park, and responsible ministers then responding to the board's recommendations. In our view this is the intended design of the system, and it's the reason the agreement distinguishes between the role of cabinet and departments and agencies.
