In the James Bay agreement, section 22 deals with the environmental impact assessment process that involves Quebec, Canada and the Cree in the process. It has a pretty rigorous consultation process. Any project that goes through that is dealt with by the people in the community. They have a chance not only to hear about it but also to recommend ways to improve it if they feel that the project will have a negative impact on the environment. The objective is not only to get approval from an environmental and economic perspective but also to obtain social acceptability by the people.
