Subsection (2) states that any person or body is granted the powers, rights, privileges, and benefits conferred by the Agreement and must fulfill the associated duties and liabilities. Subsection (3) clarifies that the Agreement is binding on all persons and bodies, even those not involved in it. However, subsection (4) specifies that certain sections of the Agreement can only be invoked by the Canadian government or the Nunatsiavut Government. Additionally, in the case of inconsistency or conflict, subsections (6)(1) and (6)(2) state that the Agreement takes precedence over federal or provincial laws, including the Act, and the Act takes precedence over any other federal or provincial laws, respectively.
