Territorial Framework

SECTION 4 

Preliminary Territorial Descriptions 

In the case of inconsistency between the French and English texts, the French text will have priority in both the preliminary and final territorial descriptions. 

The English system of measures is used to indicate distances in the following descriptions. The distances and the areas delimited by the following descriptions are approximate. 

It is understood that the following territorial descriptions for Category I lands are preliminary in the sense that they will be defined precisely within a period of approximately three (3) years by a written and cartographic description based upon technical surveys on the ground and upon cartography at a scale of 1:50,000 or larger. 

The preliminary territorial descriptions hereto attached as Annex I to this Section only describe external limits and do not take into account enclaves of Category III lands which may exist within Category I and II lands. 

Category IA lands are those lands in the description of Category I lands which do not fall within the description of Category IB and IB special lands. 

It is understood that the areas of certain enclaves of Category III lands within Category I and II lands may be excluded from the areas calculated for Category I and II lands with the mutual consent of the James Bay Crees, Québec and, in the case of Category IA lands, Canada. 

Unless otherwise provided in the following preliminary territorial descriptions, when 50% or more of the area of a lake falls within the description of Category I or II lands, the lake is to be considered Category I or II and its area is to be included in the calculation of areas for Category I or II land, as the case may be. 

The areas of Category IB lands in the following descriptions include sixty three decimal three square miles (63.3 sq. m.) for the non-status Crees of James Bay and seventeen decimal four tenths square miles (17.4 sq. m.) for the Inuit of Fort George. 

It is understood that the James Bay Crees shall have a right to the land areas indicated at the end of the territorial description for each community, totalling two thousand one hundred and forty decimal six square miles (2,140.6 sq. m.) for Category I lands, of which one thousand two hundred and seventy four square miles (1,274 sq. m.) shall be Category IA. Similarly, the James Bay Crees shall have a right to twenty four thousand eight hundred and ninety-nine square miles (24,899 sq. m.) of Category II lands south of the 55th parallel north. 

(Paragraph deleted) 

The preliminary territorial descriptions for Category I and II lands have been accepted by all the parties to this agreement. However, the parties have agreed that the descriptions may be modified subsequently with the mutual consent of the parties to take into account such modifications as may be agreed to by the parties, and to ensure that the territorial descriptions correspond to the land areas provided herein for Category I and II lands. 

Such modifications will take into account the precision of existing cartographic and survey techniques. 

Revised territorial descriptions for Category I lands must be agreed upon prior to the commencement of ground survey, and the revised territorial descriptions for Category II lands shall be authoritative. 

The portions of the La Grande, Eastmain and Rupert rivers bounded to the north by Category IB special and to the south by Category IA form part of Category II lands. Rivers, and islands within rivers, situated within Category II lands form part of Category II lands. Waterbodies, and islands within such waterbodies, which fall within Category I lands form part of Category I lands. In front of Category I and II lands, the intertidal zone forms part of Category II and is included in the calculation of land areas for Category II. In front of Category III lands, the intertidal zone is Category III. Unless otherwise agreed upon, the two hundred foot (200 feet) corridors described in the territorial descriptions between the high-water mark of major waterbodies and the limits of Category I lands form part of Category II lands. 

Notwithstanding the cartographic descriptions for the Category IA lands, Category IB lands, special Category IB lands and Category II lands for Fort George shown on the attached maps, the cartographic descriptions for the said lands for Fort George are those shown on the maps attached as Schedules 1 and 2 to Annex 1 of this Section, which schedules form part of this Section. 

The preliminary territorial descriptions of Category I and II lands for the Crees of Oujé-Bougoumou are set out in Schedule 6 to Complementary Agreement No. 22, subject to the provisions of section 7 thereof. 

For greater certainty, for the purposes of Section 11B, Oujé-Bougoumou Category II lands are described in the present Section 4.

“Commencing immediately to the west of Walton Point at the point of intersection with the meridian 77° 51' west of a line parallel to the high-water mark of the coast of Hudson Bay and distant inland from it two hundred feet (200 ft.); in a direction due south a distance of thirteen thousand feet (13 000 ft.); in a direction due east a distance of forty-one thousand feet (41 000 ft.); in a direction due north, a distance of approximately nineteen thousand feet (19 000 ft.) to a point situated two hundred feet (200 ft.) south of the high-water mark of the Great Whale River; in a direction generally west and southwest, a line parallel to and distant inland two hundred feet (200 ft.) from the high-water mark of the south bank of the Great Whale River and the coast of Hudson Bay to the point of commencement.” 

8.3 Category II lands for the Crees of Great Whale River 

8.3.1 Category II lands – Preliminary territorial description 

The Crees of Great Whale River shall be allocated an area of approximately one thousand six hundred and sixty square miles (1 660 sq. mi.) of Category II lands. Such area is included within the land delimited by the following geometrical segments, topographic features and other boundaries, which description also includes an area of one hundred and forty square miles (140 sq. mi.) of Inuit Category II lands for the Inuit of Great Whale River: 

“Commencing at the point of intersection of the parallel of latitude 55° 20' north with a line parallel to and distant inland two hundred feet (200 ft.) from the high-water mark of the coast of Hudson Bay; northwest, a straight line to the ordinary low water mark of the coast of Hudson Bay; in a direction generally northeast, a distance of approximately sixteen thousand feet (16 000 ft.) following the ordinary low water mark to the parallel of latitude 50° 22' 30" north; in a direction south 49° 00' east a distance of thirty three thousand feet (33 000 ft.); in a direction north 41° 00' east a distance of seventy six thousand five hundred feet (76 500 ft.); in a direction north 49° 00' west a distance of approximately twenty seven thousand feet (27 000 ft.) to the ordinary low water mark of Hudson Bay; in a direction generally northeast, a line following the ordinary low water mark of the coast of Hudson Bay to the parallel of latitude 55° 49' 30" north; in a direction due east, a distance of fifty thousand feet (50 000 ft.); in a direction south 48° 00' east, a distance of one hundred and thirty eight thousand feet (138 000 ft.); in a direction due south a distance of one hundred and thirty eight thousand feet (138 000 ft.); in a direction due west, a distance of one hundred and thirty-nine thousand feet (139 000 ft.); in a direction due south a distance of forty-seven thousand feet (47 000 ft.); in a direction due west a distance of approximately two hundred and nineteen thousand feet (219 000 ft.) to meridian 78° 00' west; in a direction due north a distance of approximately forty-five thousand feet (45 000 ft.) to the ordinary low water mark of the coast of Hudson Bay; in a direction generally northeast a line following the ordinary low water mark of the coast of Hudson Bay to the point of intersection with the meridian 77° 51' west; in a direction due south to the point of intersection with a line parallel to the high-water mark of the coast of Hudson Bay and distance inland from it two hundred feet (200 ft.); thereafter, following the west, south, east and northeast limits of Category IB special and Category I lands, as described above at paragraphs 8.2.3 and 8.2.4, to the point of commencement.” 

8.3.2 The above-mentioned land allocation of one thousand eight hundred square miles 1 800 sq. mi.) of land for Category II is based upon the system of land allocation adopted by the Inuit, which provides for one thousand square miles (1 000 sq. mi.) for each community north of the parallel 55° north and three point five square miles (3.5 sq. mi.) per person in each community. 

8.3.3 It is understood that the Crees and Inuit of Great Whale River shall together participate in the selection and allocation among the communities north of the parallel 55° north of the approximately three thousand nine hundred square miles (3 900 sq. mi.) of Category II lands which remain to be allocated after the application of the Inuit system of land allocation. The procedure for such participation is set forth in Section 6 of this Agreement. If, following this procedure, additional Category II lands are allocated to the Crees of Great Whale River, the eastern and northeastern boundaries of the Category II lands described above may be displaced east a distance of approximately twenty five thousand feet (25 000 ft.), and the southernmost boundary may be displaced approximately twenty three thousand feet (23 000 ft.) to the parallel of latitude 55° north. 

8.3.4 It is understood that one hundred and forty square miles (140 sq. mi.) of Inuit Category II lands are included in the above description and form part of an area of approximately two hundred and thirty square miles (230 sq. mi.) jointly selected and possibly to be jointly administered by the Crees and Inuit of Great Whale River, which lands shall generally be distributed along the coastal portion of the above description. The said 230 sq. mi. are shown on the said map identification number 12 (B). 

8.3.5 The land within the forebay designated GB 1 (approximate elevation six hundred and twenty-five feet (625 ft.)), forms part of Category III lands and is excluded from the calculation of land areas for Category II lands. 

8.3.6 The introductory provisions of Section 4 of this Agreement, which concern the interpretation of preliminary territorial descriptions, shall apply equally to the descriptions set forth above for Great Whale River. 

8.3.7 The portion of the Great Whale River within the above description for Category I lands at paragraph 8.2.3, and a corridor of two hundred feet (200 ft.) on both sides of the river measured from the high-water mark will form part of Category II lands. The Great Whale River, where it is bounded to the north by Category I lands and to the south by Category IB special lands will form part of Category II lands. 

8.4 Revision of preliminary territorial descriptions 

The above preliminary territorial descriptions for Great Whale River shall be revised to conform to the land areas allocated as Category I and Category II lands for the Crees of Great Whale River. Furthermore, for both Category I and Category II lands, the above delimitations may be modified as necessary, with the mutual consent of the Crees, the Inuit, Québec, and if appropriate, Canada, so as to take into account land selection by the Inuit of Great Whale River. 

8.5 Category IB lands 

An area of approximately twenty point five square miles (20.5 sq. mi.) including all the land within the Category I description at paragraph 8.2.3 lying between the south bank of the Great Whale River and the north bank of the Denys River; and the lands lying to the north of the Great Whale River and east of meridian 77° 15' west approximately. 

8.6 Land regime 

The land regime applicable to Category IA, IB and IB special lands (excluding Category I lands selected by the Inuit) and the Cree Category II lands shall be the land regime as set forth in Section 5 of this Agreement. The land regime for the Inuit Category I lands shall be the regime set forth in Section 7 of this Agreement. 

8.7 Future development 

It is recognized that all activities related to preliminary work, construction, operation and maintenance of the powerhouses and dams of the Great Whale Complex, including the appurtenant works, construction facilities, quarries and borrow pits, transmission lines and sub-stations, and to the possible port site approximately eight miles (8 mi.) southeast of Great Whale River may be carried out in Great Whale River Cree Category II lands as if such lands were part of Category III lands. Furthermore, it is understood that the above Category II lands shall be subject to servitudes, if required, for the construction of a railroad and road from the coast to the Great Whale Iron Ranges, for transmission lines from the Great Whale Complex, and for the road extension from LG 2 to the Great Whale Complex. However, the above-mentioned servitude for the road to the Great Whale Complex shall include provisions for an eight mile (8 mi.) corridor as in the case of Fort George Category II lands, and the lands within such corridor shall be replaced with an equivalent amount of Category II lands elsewhere. If such a road passes through Category I lands, there shall be a corridor of five hundred feet (500 ft.) on both sides of the road, which corridor shall form part of Category II lands. There shall be replacement of Category I lands within such corridor, in accordance with the land regime set forth at Section 5. It is also recognized that a transmission line corridor five hundred and fifty feet (550 ft.) wide may pass through Category I lands. The lands required for this corridor shall also be replaced in accordance with the regime set forth at Section 5.

5.1.2 CategoryIA lands 

Category IA lands are lands set aside for the exclusive use and benefit of the respective James Bay Cree bands, including the Great Whale River Band, under the administration, management and control of Canada, subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement. 

Subject to the provisions of the Agreement and notwithstanding the surrender provisions of the Indian Act, it is recognized by Canada, Québec and the James Bay Crees that the lands presently set aside for the Native people of the Waswanipi, Mistassini and Eastmain Bands under the Québec Lands and Forests Act (S.R.Q. 1964, c. 92 as amended) shall no longer be reserves within the meaning of the said Act as of the coming into force of the Agreement. 

Category IA lands will comprise an area of approximately 1,274 square miles as shown on the attached maps and as described in Section 4 of the Agreement and shall include the areas of all the present Cree villages, except Waswanipi and Nemaska, and including part of the Great Whale River settlement. Such lands shall be excluded from the James Bay Municipality. The land selection for the village of Nemaska is subject to the provisions concerning the re-location of such village contained in the Agreement. 

Québec shall, by the legislation giving effect to the Agreement, transfer, subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement, the administration, management and control of the Category IA lands to Canada and Canada shall accept such transfer.

The ownership of such lands, under provincial jurisdiction, will vest in such Cree corporations outright, provided that the lands can only be sold or ceded to Québec and this shall constitute a prohibition to sell or cede other than to Québec. 

Such Cree corporations shall consist of the members of the respective Cree communities entitled to benefit under the Agreement and may be private landholding corporations or at the option of the Crees, the public corporations of a municipal character which will have jurisdiction over Category IB lands. 

Unless otherwise specifically provided herein, these lands cannot be taken away by Québec and in those circumstances described in this Section where the right to expropriate by Québec is exercised, the land must be replaced or compensation paid at the option of the Crees except if otherwise provided herein.

5.1.5 Existing third party and governmental interests 

Lands ceded to third parties, by letters patent or owned by third parties prior to the execution of the Agreement, shall be Category III lands. However, the said lands and persons thereon shall be subject to the by-laws of the Cree local authority as if such lands formed part of Category I lands. Such persons shall have a right to all services of a municipal nature which are offered by the Cree local authority to the residents of the surrounding or adjacent Category I lands on the same terms and conditions, the whole subject to the rights of such persons and the exercise of the same. 

The lands over which rights have been ceded by Québec to third parties prior to the Agreement in the form of leases, occupation permits or other authorizations shall be Category I lands. The holders of such rights may continue to exercise them, subject solely to all provincial laws and regulations as if the lands over which the said rights are granted were Category III lands until the termination of the period fixed for the exercise of such rights, unless such rights are renewed by Québec. 

Lands within the areas of Category I lands, as shown on the attached maps but which are presently the object of mining claims, development licenses, exploration permits, mining concessions and mining leases and other similar rights, as presently defined in the Québec Mining Act (S.Q. 1965, c. 34 as amended) shall be Category III lands. However, Québec undertakes upon the expiry of these rights, or any renewal thereof, to transfer the administration, management and control of the lands subject thereto to Canada for the use and benefit of the Crees or the ownership to the Cree corporation depending on whether the said lands are within the areas of Category IA or IB lands. If any part of such lands are taken for development under the Québec Mining Act, Québec will replace the land taken, in accordance with the procedure set out for the replacement of Category II lands. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, lands within Category I which are presently the object of exploration permits issued to La Société de Développement de la Baie James will be Category I lands with the right to explore and develop as if such lands were Category III lands for the purpose of exercising the rights granted by the permits but subject to paragraph 5.1.6 c) below. However, provincial laws and regulations shall apply with respect to such permits and the exercise of all rights pursuant thereto. 

Québec undertakes to provide Canada and the Grand Council of the Crees (of Québec), within ninety (90) days of the execution of the Agreement, with a list of the mining claims, development licenses, mining concessions, mining leases, exploration permits, referred to above, within Category I lands along with the names of the holders thereof, the dates the rights were granted, the nature of the rights and the date of their expiry. 

The areas of land covered by such existing mining claims, development licenses, exploration permits, including the above mentioned portions of those of La Société de développement de la Baie James, mining concessions and mining leases surrounded by Category I lands have been included in the calculation establishing the total area of 2,158 square miles of Cree Category I lands. 

Existing regional and provincial roads and main arteries within Category I lands shall be Category III lands and shall be clearly described at the time of the transfer of such lands. However, there shall be Category II lands for a distance of five hundred (500) feet on each side of said roads. Other existing roads within the Cree communities, as well as branch roads within Category I lands and leading to the Cree communities, shall be Category I lands, but the general public shall be granted access over such roads. 

Moreover, no persons other than the Native people can establish or operate commercial facilities subject to the provisions of sub-paragraph 5.1.6 c) hereof on either side of those roads or arteries referred to in the previous paragraph, except with the express consent of the Cree community concerned. 

The areas covered by existing landing strips, airport installations, hydroplane bases and maritime structures within Category I lands are excluded from Category I lands and shall be Category III lands. However, the areas of such lands have been included in calculating the total area of Category I lands. 

When such landing strips, airport installations or other areas mentioned above are no longer required, as determined by Québec, the ownership or the administration, management and control, as the case may be, shall be transferred by Québec in the manner provided hereinabove, subject to the approval of any owner thereof, and subject to third party interests respecting mineral substances already conceded. 

The seashore, beds and shores of the lakes and rivers identified in the territorial descriptions in Section 4 of the Agreement shall be excluded from Category I lands with respect to the shoreline of such lakes and rivers and lands on both sides of such rivers and around the lakes for a distance of two hundred (200) feet shall be Category II lands. Subject to the provisions of paragraph 5.1.6 c), in such Category II lands, no person other than Native people can establish or operate commercial facilities except with the sole consent of the Cree community concerned, however, such two hundred (200) foot restriction does not apply for a distance of one (1) mile in both directions from the centre of the Cree community concerned along the shoreline. 

In front of Category I and Category II lands, the intertidal zone will be Category II lands. In front of Category III lands, the intertidal zone will remain Category III lands. From the coming into force of Complementary Agreement No. 22, and subject to the provisions thereof, the provisions of this paragraph apply to Oujé-Bougoumou Category I lands with the modifications that the circumstances require.

5.1.6 Future occupation by Québec and third parties 

a) Québec and its representatives 

Lots within Category I lands shall be allocated by the Cree community or corporation for community services supplied by Québec, its agents or mandataries, such as roads, schools, hospitals, police stations and telecommunications. Such allocation shall be by way of leases, servitudes or similar contract and for nominal compensation (i.e. $1.00). 

b) Third Parties 

The Cree community, in any case in which it allows third parties to occupy Category I lands for projects of regional or provincial interest, shall first consult with Québec and in the case of Category IA lands, Canada as well. 

c) Mining explorations and operations under existing rights 

Where lands, including Oujé-Bougoumou lands at the time of execution of Complementary Agreement No. 22, which are the object of existing mining claims, development licenses, exploration permits, mining concessions, mining leases and other similar titles pertaining to minerals as defined in the Québec Mining Act are surrounded by or adjacent to Category I lands, the owners of these rights or titles for the purpose of exercising the said rights shall have the right to use Category I lands, but only to the extent necessary in order to carry out their exploration or mining operations as provided for in Division XXII of the Québec Mining Act. Nonetheless, the appropriation of the lands required for such purposes shall be done by temporary servitude only, but shall not be subject to the expropriation provisions of the Indian Act or of the Agreement. The indemnity to be paid to the Cree Local Authority by Québec for the use (other than for exploration) of such Category I lands will be equivalent replacement land. In the case of exploration, the compensation to be paid to the Cree Local Authority by Québec for the use of such Category I lands shall be the equivalent to what is being paid to Québec for the use of surface rights on Crown lands in similar cases. 

In the event that areas of land contemplated in the immediately preceeding paragraph are developed as provided hereinabove, the Cree community concerned shall have the right to the replacement of an equivalent area of land in the same manner as set forth in the procedure for the replacement of Category II lands in the case of development. 

In regard to lands which will be the object of mining claims, development licenses, exploration permits, mining concessions, mining leases and similar titles in the future, except the lands presently covered by any such titles which shall be governed by the special provisions hereinabove set forth, the exercise of any rights in or over Category I lands shall be subject to the general regime set forth below. For greater certainty, from the coming into force of Complementary Agreement No. 22, the provisions of this sub paragraph shall apply to Oujé-Bougoumou Category I lands subject to the following: the reference herein to Division XXII of the Québec Mining Act is replaced by a reference to sections 235 and 236 of Division V of Chapter IV of the Mining Act (R.S.Q., c. M-13.1) as they read on December 15, 2009, or, if those sections are amended thereafter, to equivalent provisions of the Mining Act as amended, as they read on the date of the coming into force of Complementary Agreement No. 22, provided that any expropriation can only be by temporary servitude.

5.1.7 Public servitudes established by Québec 

A) General 

Category I lands are subject to public servitudes established by Québec, its agents or mandataries in the cases set forth in sub-paragraphs a), b) and c) of this paragraph, subject to the terms and conditions mentioned herein and subject to compensation in an equivalent amount of land or in money at the option of the Cree community concerned unless for services of direct benefit to Category I lands or to such community. 

Consequently, all public bodies, agencies and corporations authorized by law will be allowed to expropriate for the purpose of establishing the following public servitudes in the cases and subject to the conditions mentioned below: 

a) infrastructures : such as regional roads and arteries, bridges, airports, maritime structures and protection and irrigation facilities; 

b) local services : water systems, sewers, purification plants, treatment plants, fire protection and other services generally provided by local or municipal governments; 

c) public utilities : electricity, gas, oil, telecommunications and telephones; 

d) however, in the case of gas or oil pipelines or transmission lines, the servitudes shall be subject to the following: 

i) they shall be situated the farthest way possible from the center of the village, in so far as reasonable, taking into account all circumstances, and in all cases at a distance of at least five (5) miles from the center of the village; 

ii) necessary land taken for such purposes shall be replaced in all cases; 

iii) all reasonable efforts shall be made to attempt to locate such transmission lines or pipelines in Category III or Category II lands, for equal cost; 

iv) they shall be subject to the Environmental Regime, applicable to Category II lands, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 22 of the Agreement; 

e) other servitudes of a similar nature established by law. 

In the case of public servitudes, indemnity in lands or money, at the option of the Crees, must be effected, except in the case of public servitudes involving services which directly benefit Category I lands or the Cree community concerned. Direct benefit would be determined with respect to the potential use by and/ or future advantages to Category I lands and the community itself. 

Where it is not otherwise possible for Québec to achieve the above without a full use and taking of the land, Québec shall have the right to expropriate in full ownership for the purposes of the present paragraph and paragraph 5.1.4, subject to the other provisions of this Section.

B) Direct benefit 

Servitudes considered as being of direct benefit to Category I lands or the Cree community concerned would include servitudes involving public services expressly requested by the Cree community, essential services for the Cree communities provided such services are used by the Cree residents of the community and services designed to enhance the quality of life of the Cree inhabitants of the community. 

Such servitudes would include but not necessarily be limited to such things as local services generally provided by municipal or local governments and by public utilities, local roads, bridges and community airports. 

In all other cases not covered by the Agreement, burden of proof in establishing the direct benefit to the Category I lands of the community shall lie upon Québec. 

In all cases, the Cree community shall have the right and opportunity to contest, in accordance with the procedure hereinafter set forth, whether a particular public servitude involves services of direct benefit to Category I lands or to the community. 

C) Compensation in land or in money 

In the case of a servitude recognized not to be of direct benefit to Category I lands or to the Cree community, there shall be compensation in an equal amount of land or, at the option of the Crees, in an amount of money and/or land. However, such compensation shall be by replacement of land only when such servitudes effectively withdraw portions of Category I lands from the use or enjoyment of the Cree community concerned. 

If the Cree community chooses compensation in the form of land, the Cree community shall indicate its selection preference to Québec as soon as the decision to proceed with the proposed public servitude is taken. 

If necessary, Québec shall then propose to the Cree community taking into consideration the Cree community's preference, an area with similar characteristics, insofar as is possible, to Category I lands and contiguous to the location of the Category I lands subject to the servitude. Such area proposed as replacement shall be double the size of the land to be replaced. The community shall be then entitled to choose from this area a piece of land equal in size to that land effectively taken away for the purposes of the public servitude. 

This procedure will precede the taking of land for a servitude or any construction related to the servitude. However, a time limit of one hundred and twenty (120) days shall be allowed for this procedure, provided that the taking of the land for the servitude or any construction related to the servitude may proceed after sixty (60) days. 

If there is no agreement on the choice of the replacement land within the period of one hundred and twenty (120) days and provided there is no contestation of the right to acquire the servitude, the compensation would then have to take the form of money. 

If there is no agreement between the Cree community and Québec respecting the determination of what is direct benefit to a community or if the community, instead of compensation in the form of land, chooses compensation in the form of money and the parties are unable to agree as to what is adequate compensation, the decision whether to be of direct benefit and the amount of compensation shall be fixed by the Expropriation Tribunal of Québec, unless the parties agree to submit the matter to binding arbitration. 

D) Impact assessment 

All proposed servitudes mentioned in sub-paragraphs 5.1.7Aa) and 5.1.7 Ad) shall be subject to the Environmental and Social Protection Regime applicable to Category II lands and the procedures for such regime, which are contemplated by the Agreement. More particularly, and if appropriate, the proposed servitude will be subject to a prior environmental and social impact assessment report and a delay of at least sixty (60) days will be allowed for comments by and discussions with the community on the proposed work. 

E) Other 

Any land effectively withdrawn from Category I lands for the purpose of establishing a servitude which has been compensated for in the form of land or money will be classified as Category III lands. 

If the holder of the servitude no longer requires such servitude, the community shall have the option to have the land formerly subject to such servitude reclassified as Category I lands provided that the land which was allocated to the community as compensation, if such was the case, reverts to Québec to be reclassified as Category II or Category III lands depending on its status before the said land was used for compensation. 

Unless the Crees are compensated in money in respect to expropriations by Québec and subject to the provisions of paragraph 5.1.8, the total area of Category I lands shall never be less than 2,140.6 square miles without the consent of the Crees or exceed 2,140.6 square miles without the consent of Québec. 

In respect to the above servitudes, and also subject to the consent of the Lieutenant-Governor in Council, all public bodies, agencies and companies which now have or will have such powers defined in present or future laws of Québec will be able to establish such servitudes.

5.1.8 Expropriation by Canada 

Notwithstanding the Expropriation Act of Canada, no Category IA lands may be expropriated by Her Majesty in Right of Canada without the prior consent of the Governor in Council. 

Subject to the foregoing, nothing in the Agreement shall be interpreted in any way as limiting the power of Canada to expropriate for public purposes. 

5.1.9 Public utility 

Present and future public utilities will continue to remain the responsibility of competent authorities acting in accordance with Provincial and Federal statutes and regulations and applicable local by-laws.

5.1.10 Natural resources 

a) Minerals and other underground rights 

In Category I lands, Québec remains the owner of the mineral and sub-surface rights with the exception of rights already granted by Québec, as of the execution of the Agreement. 

However, no minerals or other sub-surface rights can be obtained, extracted, mined or exercised from or with respect to all Category I lands without the consent of the particular community with rights over such lands and only upon payment of compensation agreed upon, for the use of rights over such lands. 

The carrying out of work resulting from mineral rights granted prior to the execution of the Agreement (or prior to the execution of Complementary Agreement No. 22 in the case of Oujé-Bougoumou Category I lands as depicted in Schedule 6 thereof) on lands surrounded by or adjacent to Category I lands shall be dealt with through sub-paragraph 5.1.6(c) above as on other Category III lands. For the purposes contemplated by Division XXII of the Québec Mining Act, the holders of such rights requiring the use of adjacent Category I lands may use the adjacent or surrounding Category I lands to the extent necessary to exercise their rights, subject to the provisions of sub-paragraph 5.1.6 c) above. Such works may include mining operations subject to the provisions mentioned in that paragraph. 

Any future exploration or exploitation of minerals within Category I lands, other than the exploration or exploitation under rights existing prior to the Agreement (or prior to the execution of Complementary Agreement No. 22 in the case of Oujé-Bougoumou Category I lands as depicted in Schedule 6 thereof) including the right to explore and mine extension of mineralization around the lands subject to such existing rights and subject to the provisions referred to in sub-paragraph 5.1.6 c) of this Section, shall only be permitted with the Consent of the Cree community holding the rights to the lands affected. Moreover, specific authorization from Québec according to conditions specified in Québec mining laws and regulations, shall be required before any mining rights may be acquired. 

b) Substances ceded to the Native people 

Deposits of steatite (soapstone) or other similar material used for traditional arts and crafts will belong to the Native population. 

c) Gravel and other similar materials 

Permits must be obtained by the Cree community from the Québec Department of Natural Resources for the use of gravel and other similar material generally used for earthworks for personal and community use. However, the Québec Department of Natural Resources may not withhold such permits provided all the regulations are observed and the duties provided for under any applicable Provincial legislation shall not be collected. 

The taking or use of such gravel shall also be subject to the Environmental and Social Protection Regime provided for under the Agreement in respect to Category I lands. 

d) Forests 

The Crees will have the right to use the forest for personal and community needs within Category I lands. 

The respective Cree communities will likewise have the exclusive right to the commercial exploitation of forest resources within Category I lands by themselves or by third parties acting with their consent. However, in such case, the Cree community will have to obtain cutting rights or permits from the Québec Department of Lands and Forests, but the Department shall not withhold its consent to such permit, provided that such commercial cutting is in keeping with the development and marketing plan accepted by the Québec Department of Lands and Forests. In the event of such commercial exploitation, the community will not be obliged to pay stumpage dues to Québec but operations must respect Québec standards. 

Subject to such permit and the requirements hereinabove stated, such resources shall be governed by the laws applicable to Category I lands. The general regime for forest protection, including the cost entailed, will be applicable.

5.1.11 Residence 

Non-Native people presently residing in Category I lands shall have the right to remain until the expiration of their rights of occupancy or residency on such lands, and shall be subject to the general by-laws and regulations of the local government. Subject to the foregoing, non-Native people will not be allowed to reside in Category I lands except in accordance with the by-laws and regulations established by the local government. However, such by-laws and regulations must permit non-Native people to reside in the area for purposes allowed by the local government, for purposes of administrative or public service duties or scientific research, provided such activities do not entail an influx of substantial numbers of people likely to alter in an appreciable way the demographic makeup of the community. 

In particular, non-Crees married to Crees, and their immediate families in the first degree, shall have the right to reside in Category I lands. 

5.1.12 Access 

The general public will have access to all roads, arteries, airports, bridges, public sea-plane bases, wharves, harbours, rivers and principal lakes and public buildings and lands used for public purposes. 

The following persons shall also be permitted access to Category I lands: 

– persons authorized to reside on Category I lands; 

– persons authorized to exercise a public function or engaged in technical surveys, the construction or operation of a public work or public utility; 

– owners of mineral rights and persons engaged in the exercise thereof; 

– as well as such other persons as may be authorized by the Cree Local Authority. 

Subject to the foregoing, only members of the Cree band or community shall have access to Category I lands and the Cree Local Authority shall have by-law power to regulate access provided that any such by-law shall not negate or unreasonably restrict the right of access. 

5.1.13 Restrictions on Transfer 

No Category I lands may be sold or otherwise ceded except to the Crown in Right of Québec. However, in accordance with the terms of the Agreement, the Cree Local Authority may grant to any person, including non-Natives, servitudes, usufructs, other rights of use and occupation and leases respecting such lands, provided that where lands are leased or real rights granted to non-Natives for a period exceeding five (5) years, including any renewal thereof, the leasehold interest or real rights granted shall be, as of the date of the lease or grant, subject to all Provincial laws and regulations as if the lands over which the said leasehold interest or real rights are granted were Category IB lands. 

Notwithstanding the immediately preceding paragraph, no watercourses or lakes or rights therein in Category IB lands may be granted by the Cree Local Authority to persons other than members of the Cree community for whom Category IB lands have been allocated. 

In the event that a band of Crees occupying part of Category IA lands becomes extinct, Canada shall revest in Québec all the rights and interests transferred to it under the Agreement in Category IA lands occupied by the band prior to its becoming extinct. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, should a Cree band join another Cree band or should all the members of one (1) Cree band join another Cree band, the Category IA lands of the band or members joining another band shall be vested in that other band, provided that Crees are living on the land of the band with which the amalgamation is proposed. 

5.2 Category II lands 

5.2.1 Definition 

Category II lands will comprise 25,130 square miles south of the 55th parallel of latitude where the James Bay Crees shall have the exclusive right of hunting, fishing and trapping and will also have the rights established under Section 24 of the Agreement. Other uses of Category II lands for purposes other than hunting, fishing and trapping shall be subject to the provisions set forth below.

Provincial jurisdiction shall continue over Category II lands. 

Category II lands shall not form part of any municipality except with the prior written agreement of the Cree Nation Government and Québec.

5.2.2 Third party interests 

The lands already ceded to third parties in ownership prior to the execution of the Agreement shall be excluded from Category II lands. 

Moreover, lands within the area of the said Category II lands which are subject to rights already ceded to third parties prior to the execution of the Agreement (or prior to the execution of Complementary Agreement No. 22 in the case of lands within the area of the Oujé-Bougoumou Category II lands as depicted in Schedule 6 thereof) by way of lease or occupation permits or lands which are the object of mining claims, development licenses, exploration permits, mining concessions and mining leases shall be Category III lands. At such time as the said rights revert to the Crown such lands shall be Category II lands. 

Lands within said Category II lands which are presently the object of exploration permits issued to La Société de développement de la Baie James shall fall into Category II lands with the right to explore, develop and mine as if such lands were Category III lands, in respect to the exercise of the rights under permits, subject to the provisions of paragraph 5.2.3. 

Moreover, existing roads, landing strips, airport installations, sea-plane bases and maritime structures shall be Category III lands, and as such, shall be excluded from the administrative regime applicable to Category II lands. The large bodies of water surrounded fully or partially by Category II lands but excluded from Category II lands are identified in the said territorial descriptions. 

Subject to this Agreement and the Agreement concerning a New Relationship between le Gouvernement du Québec and the Crees of Québec concluded on February 7, 2002, the third party interests, such as (i) permits, (ii) leases, (iii) mining claims and (iv) timber supply and forest management agreements (CAAF’s) with a view to the continued access of the forestry industry to the resources as provided for therein, existing on Category II lands as of July 24, 2012, shall be maintained in accordance with the applicable laws.

5.2.3 Development 

Category II lands may be appropriated by Québec for development purposes, provided such lands are replaced or, if the native people wish, and an agreement can be reached thereon, they are compensated. 

Unless such activities are directly related to pre-development, the rights or the exercise thereof of non Native people, in respect to their lawful activities, shall be controlled by Québec through appropriate legislation or regulations and reasonable enforcement machinery if they interfere or could reasonably be expected to interfere with the rights granted to Native people under the Section of the Agreement relating to hunting, fishing and trapping (Section 24). 

For the purposes of the Agreement in respect to Category II lands: “development” shall be defined as any act or deed which precludes hunting, fishing and trapping activities by Native people, except for pre-development; and “pre-development” shall be defined as any act or deed of an exploratory nature exercised during a limited time in view of researching information to decide if development will take place or not. 

In the case of development, should the Cree community choose replacement of land, the community shall indicate its preference to Québec as soon as the decision to proceed with the development is taken and communicated. 

If there is no agreement in respect to the choice of land, Québec shall then propose to the Cree community taking into consideration the Cree community's preference, an area with the similar characteristics, insofar as is possible, as Category II lands and contiguous to the location of the Category II lands subject to the replacement. Such area proposed as replacement shall be double the size of the land to be replaced. The Cree community shall then choose from this area a piece of land contiguous to the Category II lands and equal in size to that land effectively taken away for the purposes of such development as full compensation for the land taken away. Compensation may also be made by money payments mutually agreed upon. 

This procedure will precede the taking of land for development or any construction related thereto. However, a time limit of one hundred and twenty (120) days shall be allowed for this procedure, provided that the taking of the land for the development or any construction related to such development may proceed after sixty (60) days. 

Such development shall be subject to the Environmental Regime set forth in Section 22 of the Agreement. 5.2.4 Public servitudes 

Notwithstanding the above definition of development, all public servitudes may be established on Category II lands without payment of indemnity. 

5.2.5 Natural resources 

a) Minerals and other underground rights 

Mineral exploration and technical surveys do not constitute development as defined herein and may be carried out without replacement of lands and without payment of indemnity, but subject to the provisions of the Environmental and Social Protection Regime of the Agreement. Moreover, such mineral exploration and technical surveys must be carried out so as to avoid unreasonable conflict with harvesting activities. 

b) Use of soapstone 

The right to use soapstone for traditional arts and crafts purposes may be acquired by the Native people through their respective local governments by way of a permit from the Québec Department of Natural Resources. Such permit may not be unreasonably withheld. This special permit will be provided for under the Mining Act and will give the rights to use this mineral substance only for the use of traditional arts and crafts purposes. 

The lands in question will have to be marked in the field by the Native people by using a method analogous to the one used for claim staking. The area will have to be restricted to the outcrops easily accessible to the Native people. Furthermore, the right to the soapstone will always be subordinated to the rights to other mineral substances, in such a way that it will not prevent possible mining developments on that land. 

c) Forests 

Forest operations are compatible with hunting, fishing and trapping activities.

Commercial cutting programs in Category II lands will be defined according to management plans elaborated by the Québec Department of Lands and Forests, which shall take into consideration the hunting, fishing and trapping activities 

Operations must respect Québec standards and the general regime for forest protection will be applicable. 5.2.6 Access 

Subject to the rights of the Native people, under the Hunting, Fishing and Trapping Section (24) of the Agreement, persons exercising a right compatible with such rights of the Native people as well as persons exercising some duty imposed by law shall have access to Category II lands and may remain thereon, and erect constructions thereon, subject to the general restrictions of law and the provisions imposed by this Section of the Agreement and subject to the following additional restrictions: 

a) Tourism and recreation 

Non-Native people will not be allowed to hunt, fish or trap in Category II lands, except with the consent of the Native people, and subject to the rights of the non-Natives set forth in the Hunting and Fishing Regime (Section 24). 

b) Exploration, pre-development activities, scientific studies and administrative purposes Persons wishing to carry out such works shall be required to obtain an authorization for same from Québec. Such a request for authorization shall have to include the following information: objective, nature, importance of the work to be effected, duration and a description of the installations involved. 

In case such authorization is granted, the Native people shall be advised of the information so given to Québec, as soon as is reasonably possible. 

However, works which do not involve substantial operations in the field, such as geoscientific works and mining exploration of the type provided for by the Québec Mining Act will not be subject to the presentation of the information nor the obtaining of the authorization mentioned above. 

Nonetheless, such works shall be carried out in such a manner as to avoid unreasonable conflict with the rights of the Native people under the Hunting, Fishing and Trapping Regime.

5.2.7 Special provisions concerning the Mistassini area outfitting camps 

Notwithstanding paragraph 24.9.2, the Québec shall be allowed to operate the Louis Jolliet and Vieux Poste Camps as well as the outposts of these two camps for a period of ten (10) years; during this period, the Québec shall take all reasonable means to train Cree persons in all aspects of the outfitting business so that the Crees may, if they wish, take over completely the operation of these camps at the end of this ten (10) year period.

5.3 Category III lands 

5.3.1 General access to Category III lands will be in accordance with Provincial legislation and regulations concerning public lands. 

The regime for the use of soapstone in Category III lands shall be that applicable, mutatis mutandis, to Category II lands.

5.4 Wood rights for native people on category II or III 

5.4.1 Québec shall guarantee a supply of wood necessary for the operation of the present Paint Hills sawmill or an equivalent wood supply subject to the approval of the Minister of Lands and Forests of a location other than the Paint Hills area for such wood supply. No stumpage dues shall be payable for such wood supply. 

5.4.2 In addition, Québec will consider proposals submitted by the Native people which would have the effect of creating employment for Native people and other residents of the Territory and are in accordance with the planning of the Québec Department of Lands and Forests. 

5.4.3 The Crees shall pay stumpage dues for commercial utilization of such wood rights on Category II or III lands. 

5.4.4 Specific arrangements for the operation contemplated shall be discussed and agreed upon with the Québec Department of Lands and Forests. However, the Crees shall be liable for the payment of costs incurred under the general regime for forest protection. 

5.5 Development 

5.5.1 Notwithstanding anything else contained in the Agreement Québec, La Société d'Énergie de la Baie James, Hydro-Québec and La Société de Développement de la Baie James and their nominees and such other persons acting lawfully shall have the right subject to all applicable laws and regulations to develop the land and resources in Category III lands and also, for the purpose of development, Québec has the right to take Category II lands subject to the replacement or compensation as specified in this Section and such Category II lands shall then become Category III lands. 

More particularly, the rights and guarantees given to the Native people by and in accordance with the Section on Hunting, Fishing and Trapping shall be subject to the right to develop Category III and Category II lands on the part of Québec, Hydro-Québec, La Société d'Énergie de la Baie James and La Société de Développement de la Baie James and their nominees and such other persons as may be lawfully authorized. 

However, the developers shall be submitted to the Environmental Regime which takes into account the Hunting, Fishing and Trapping Regime. 

5.5.2 Subject to laws and regulations of general application except as hereinafter provided in paragraph 5.5.3, Québec, La Société d'Énergie de la Baie James, Hydro-Québec and all public bodies, agencies and corporations authorized by law may modify or regulate the flow of rivers of Categories II and III lands even if such rivers are flowing through or adjacent to Category I lands or have downstream effect on the part of such rivers included within Category I lands, subject to the following provisions: 

a) The flow regime shall not be modified in such a way as to increase the water level above the highest previously recorded water level of the river. 

b) For the purposes of establishing or exercising the servitudes contemplated by article 5.1.7 of this Section, the water level may be raised above the highest recorded level subject to the provisions of this Section. 

c) If shore facilities or other installations or rights in connection therewith are affected by the change of water level, Québec, La Société d'Énergie de la Baie James, Hydro-Québec or the public bodies, agencies or corporations shall be liable for damages to such facilities, installations or rights in connection therewith.

The special provisions of Section 8 of this Agreement shall take precedence over the provisions of the present article. 

5.5.3 Québec, La Société d'Énergie de la Baie James, Hydro-Québec and the said public bodies, agencies and corporations shall not be required to expropriate lands needed for the purposes contemplated in paragraph 5.5.2 nor to obtain any consent otherwise required for the utilization of such lands for the above purposes. 

5.6 Legislation 

The provisions of this Section can only be amended with the consent of Canada and the interested Native party, in matters of federal jurisdiction, and with the consent of Québec and the interested Native party, in matters of provincial jurisdiction. 

Legislation enacted to give effect to the provisions of this Section may be amended from time to time by the National Assembly of Québec in matters of provincial jurisdiction, and by Parliament in matters of federal jurisdiction.

6.2.2 Criteria for selection 

Category II land selections shall take into account the wildlife productivity of the land, the usability of such lands for harvesting, and existing developments as well as other lands necessary as a habitat for the protection of wildlife, and all existing rights granted at the time of the Agreement, and known development projects. 

Each unit of land selected shall comprise an area of not less than fifty (50) square miles. 

No more than three (3) discontiguous units of land, not including intertidal zone selections, per community shall be selected unless agreed to otherwise by Québec. Each unit of land shall be compact and each portion of such land shall have a ratio of average width to length of four (4) to one (1), unless agreed to otherwise by Québec. 

Such lands shall be selected within two (2) years of the date of execution of the Agreement, and the selection shall be subject to mutual approval of the respective communities and Québec failing which Québec shall have the right to designate such Category II lands after consultation with the interested Native party. 

In front of Category I and II lands, the intertidal zone may be selected as Category II lands. 

The aggregate of Category I and Category II selections shall not exceed fifty-five percent (55%) of the coastline of the Territory north of the 55th parallel, distributed as evenly as possible along the coast. 

6.3 Other rights 

6.3.1 Timber rights 

The Inuit Community Corporations of Kuudjuaq (Fort Chimo) and Kangirsualujuak (George River) shall have exclusive timber rights on those tracts of land identified in Schedule 2 attached to this Section. Such rights shall be for personal and community use and shall be exercised in accordance with management plans to be agreed upon with the Department of Lands and Forests. However, such timber rights shall be subject to the right to develop the lands over which the timber rights are granted herein. 

Where, in accordance with the said plans, additional forestry operations are permitted, the said Inuit Community Corporations shall be permitted to supply timber to other Inuit Community Corporations. 

6.4 Great Whale River 

Should a majority of the Inuit of Great Whale River decide to move to Richmond Gulf within a period of five (5) years from the date of the coming into force of the Agreement, Québec agrees that Québec and/or its agencies or mandataries shall assist the Inuit of Great Whale, such assistance to include the provision of funds, in carrying out the move to Richmond Gulf, on terms and conditions to be negotiated. 

Should the Inuit of Great Whale River decide to move to Richmond Gulf as aforesaid, Canada agrees to assist the Inuit of Great Whale River in carrying out the move to Richmond Gulf and establishing an Inuit Community in such location, within the scope of federal programs from time to time in effect and, in particular, Programs in effect for the Inuit of Canada.

6.5 Schedules 

Notes : 

The International System is used to indicate distances and areas in the preliminary territorial descriptions in Schedule 1 and in Schedule 5 of the present Section. The distances indicated and the areas delimited by the said descriptions are approximate. 

The said descriptions describe external limits and do not take into account enclaves of Category III lands which may exist within Category I lands and Category II lands. 

Lakes and rivers and the islands situated within these lakes and rivers, within Category I lands or Category II lands, form part of Category I lands or Category II lands, as the case may be. 

Unless otherwise provided, when 50% or more of the area of a lake falls within the external limits of Category I lands or Category II lands described in Schedule 1 or 5 of the present Section, the lake forms part of Category I lands or Category II lands, as the case may be, and its area is included in the calculation of the area of these lands. 

In the case where the boundaries of Category II lands as described in Schedule 5, encroach upon the actual location of lands which are the object of mining claims or mining exploration permits, in force as of November 11, 1975, the said boundaries shall be moved to the same extent so as to exclude the said lands from Category II lands. The provisions of the present paragraph do not apply to mining exploration permits numbers 534, 521 and to that part of exploration permit no. 403 situated on the shore of Kyak Bay. 

The boundaries of Category II lands may be adjusted prior to the preparation of the final map showing the said lands, to conform with the total area of Category II lands allocated to each of the Inuit communities, with the distribution of Category I and Category II lands along the coast (55% - 45%) with other technical requirements and, if necessary, to increase to one hundred and twenty nine square kilometres and five tenths (129,5 Km2) the area of the blocks of Category II lands less than the said number. 

Québec and the interested native party can modify the preliminary territorial descriptions to take into account the modifications that may be agreed to by the interested parties and that the modified descriptions correspond to the areas foreseen for the Category I lands and the Category II lands. Such modifications must take into account the precision of existing cartographic and survey techniques. 

The preliminary territorial descriptions of Category I lands were prepared from preliminary maps numbers 79-CC6-I-1 to 13, on record at le bureau du Coordonnateur ministériel en Milieu amérindien et inuit du ministère de l’Énergie et des Ressources, and must substantialy correspond to the said maps. The said maps take into account the provisions of the present Section. Every preliminary map is kept on record until the map of Category I lands, approved by the interested Inuit Community prior to the survey, is on record in the archives of le service de l’Arpentage du ministère de l’Énergie et des Ressources. The plan and the technical territorial description of Category I lands, after having been submitted to the interested Inuit Community Corporation, are on record in the archives of le service de l’Arpentage du ministère de l’Énergie et des Ressources, and replace the map prepared for the survey and the preliminary territorial description of the aforesaid lands. 

The preliminary territorial descriptions of Category II lands were prepared from preliminary maps numbers 79-CC6-II-1 to 12, on record at le bureau du Coordonnateur ministériel en Milieu amérindien et inuit du ministère de l’Énergie et des Ressources, and must substantially correspond to the said maps. The said maps take into account the provisions of the present Section. The final map and the technical territorial description of Category II lands, after having been approved by resolution of the interested Inuit Community Corporation, are on record in the archives of le service de l’Arpentage du ministère de l’Énergie et des Ressources, and replace the preliminary map and the preliminary territorial description of the aforesaid lands. Every preliminary map is on record until it is replaced by the final map.

7.1.7 Mineral rights 

a) General 

Minerals and other underground rights 

In Category I lands, Québec remains the owner of the mineral and sub-surface rights with the exception of rights already granted by the Province as of the date of execution of the Agreement. 

However, no minerals or other sub-surface rights can be obtained, extracted, mined or exercised from or with respect to all Category I lands without the consent of the interested Inuit Community Corporation with rights over such lands and only upon payment of compensation agreed upon for the use of rights over such lands. 

b) Existing mineral rights 

Lands within the areas of Category I lands as shown on the attached maps but which are presently the object of mining claims, development licences, exploration permits, mining concessions and mining leases and other similar rights as presently defined in the Québec Mining Act, shall be Category III lands. However, Québec undertakes upon the expiry of these rights, or any renewal thereof, to transfer the ownership of such Category III lands to the Inuit Community Corporation concerned. If any part of such lands are taken for development under the Québec Mining Act, Québec will replace the land taken in accordance with the procedure set out for the replacement of Category II lands. 

Québec undertakes to provide to the Inuit of Québec, within ninety (90) days of the execution of the Agreement, a list of the mining claims, development licences, mining concessions, mining leases, exploration permits, referred to above, within Category I lands along with the names of the holders thereof, the dates the rights were granted, the nature of the rights and the date of their expiry. 

The areas of land covered by such existing mining claims, development licences, exploration permits, mining concessions and mining leases surrounded by Category I lands have been included in the calculation establishing the total area of 3,130 square miles of Inuit Category I lands. 

The carrying out of work resulting from mineral rights granted prior to the execution of the Agreement on lands surrounded by or adjacent to Category I lands shall be as dealt with in paragraph 7.1.12b as on other Category III lands. For the purposes contemplated by Division XXII of the Québec Mining Act, the holders of such rights requiring the use of adjacent Category I lands may use the adjacent or surrounding Category I lands to the extent necessary to exercise their rights, subject to the provisions of paragraph 7.1.12b below. Such works may include mining operations mentioned in that paragraph. Land used pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph shall be replaced in accordance with the procedures set out for the replacement of Category II lands. 

All mining exploration and operations undertaken on or over Category I lands or immediately adjacent lands, or on lands within the exterior boundaries of Category I selections, shall be subject to the provisions of the Environment and Social Protection Regime established by and in accordance with Section 23. The impact assessment shall include proposals for a land use and reclamation plan.

A. corr. 

7.1.8 Existing third party interests 

Lands ceded to third parties by letters patent or owned by third parties prior to the execution of the Agreement shall be Category III lands. 

The holders of leases or occupation permits granted by Québec before the date of execution of the Agreement over Category I lands may continue to exercise such rights for the purposes for which such rights were granted as if the lands over which the said rights are granted were Category III lands and upon the terms and conditions of the said leases or permits until the termination of the period fixed for the exercise of such rights, unless such rights are renewed by Québec. Québec undertakes, prior to the renewal of such leases or permits, to take into consideration the zoning plan of the municipality within the boundaries of which such lands are located. The municipality undertakes to take into consideration all existing leases and permits when establishing a zoning plan. 

Any rents or fees payable for such rights to Québec shall, from the coming into force of the Agreement, be remitted by Québec to the Inuit Community Corporation concerned.

Subject to the above, where such lands are situated within the boundaries of a municipality, the by-laws of such municipality shall apply to such lands and to the holders of rights therein. Such persons shall have a right to all services of a municipal nature which are offered by the local municipal government on the same terms and conditions, the whole subject to the rights of such persons and the exercise of the same. 

7.1.9 Governmental interests 

Main roads within Category I lands shall be Category III lands. Other existing roads within the Inuit Communities, as well as branch roads within Category I lands and leading to the Inuit communities, shall be Category I lands, but the general public shall be granted access over such roads. 

The areas covered by existing landing strips, airport installations, hydroplane bases and maritime structures within Category I lands are excluded from Category I lands and shall be Category III lands. 

The seashore, beds and shores of the lakes and rivers identified in the map identifications attached as Schedule 3 of Section 6 and forming an integral part hereof shall be excluded from Category I lands with respect to the shore line of such lakes and rivers and lands on both sides of such rivers and around such lakes for a distance of two hundred (200) feet shall be Category II lands. The aforesaid two hundred (200) foot restriction shall not apply for a distance of one mile in both directions along the shore line from the centre of the Inuit Community concerned. 

Notwithstanding that the said lands within the two hundred (200) foot restriction remain Category II lands held by the Crown in right of Québec, the regime established herein for Category I lands shall apply to such lands except that persons navigating such rivers, lakes and seashores or travelling through such lands shall have access to such lands. Such lands shall be included in the calculation establishing the total area of Category I lands. 

In front of Category I and Category II lands, the intertidal zone may be Category II lands. In front of Category III lands, the intertidal zone will remain Category III lands.

7.1.10 Public Servitudes 

A) General 

Category I lands are subject to public servitudes established by Québec or its agents or mandataries in the cases set forth in paragraphs b), c) and d) below, subject to the terms and conditions and to the provisions for compensation mentioned herein and subject to compensation in an equivalent amount of land or in money at the option of the Inuit Community Corporation concerned unless for services of direct benefit to Category I lands or to such Inuit community. 

Consequently, all public bodies, agencies and corporations authorized by law will be allowed to expropriate for the purpose of establishing the following public servitudes, subject to the conditions mentioned below: 

a) infrastructures such as roads, bridges, airports, maritime structures and protection and irrigation facilities; 

b) local services such as water systems, sewers, purification plants, treatment plants, fire protection and other services generally provided by municipal governments; 

c) public utilities such as electricity, gas, oil, telecommunications and telephones; 

d) servitudes of gas or oil pipelines or transmission lines which shall be subject to the following conditions:

i) the pipelines or transmission lines shall be situated as far away as possible from the Inuit community concerned, taking into account all circumstances, and in all cases at a distance of at least five (5) miles from the centre of the said community; 

ii) land taken for such purposes shall be replaced or compensated in all cases subject to the conditions of the first sub-paragraph of the present paragraph. 

e) other servitudes of a similar nature established by law. 

No public servitudes other than those for local purposes shall be erected on Category I lands wherever a reasonably economical alternative exists for such public servitudes on Category III or Category II lands. 

In the case of the expropriation of Category I lands for public servitudes, compensation in lands or money, at the option of the Inuit Community Corporation concerned, must be effected, except in the case of public servitudes involving services of direct benefit to Category I lands or the Inuit Community concerned. Direct benefit would be determined with respect to the potential use by and/or future advantages to the Inuit community itself or the benefit to Category I lands. 

Where it is not otherwise possible for Québec to establish a public servitude to achieve the above without a full use and taking of the land, Québec shall have the right to expropriate in full ownership for the purposes of the present paragraph and paragraph 7.1.6, subject to the other provisions of this Section. 

All proposed public servitudes shall be subject to the Environment and Social Protection Regime established by and in accordance with Section 23 of the Agreement. 

B) Direct benefit 

Public servitudes considered to be of direct benefit to Category I lands or the Inuit Community concerned would include servitudes involving public services expressly requested by the Inuit Community, essential services for the Inuit Community provided such services are used by the Inuit residents of the community and services designed to enhance the quality of life of the Inuit inhabitants of the community. 

Such servitudes would include, but not necessarily be limited to, such things as local services generally provided by municipal or local governments and by public utilities, local roads and bridges and community airports. 

In all other cases not covered by the Agreement, burden of proof in establishing the direct benefit to the Category I lands of the community shall lie upon Québec. 

In all cases, the Inuit Community shall have the right and opportunity to contest, in accordance with the procedure hereinafter set forth, whether a particular public servitude involves services of direct benefit to Category I lands or to the Inuit Community. 

C) Compensation in land or in money 

In the case of a servitude recognized not to be of direct benefit to Category I lands or to the Inuit Community, there shall be compensation in an equal amount of lands or, at the option of the Inuit, in an amount of money and/or lands. However, such compensation shall be by replacement of land only when such servitudes effectively withdraw portions of Category I lands from the use or enjoyment of the Inuit Community concerned. 

If the Inuit Community Corporation chooses compensation in the form of land, the Inuit Community Corporation shall indicate its selection preference to Québec after notification by Québec of a decision to proceed with the proposed public servitude. 

If necessary, Québec shall then propose to the Inuit Community Corporation, taking into consideration the Inuit Community Corporation's preference, an area with similar characteristics to the Category I lands taken, insofar as is possible, and contiguous to the location of the Category I lands subject to the servitude. Such area proposed as replacement land shall be double the size of the land to be replaced. The community shall be then entitled to choose from this area a piece of land equal in size to that land taken away for the purposes of the public servitude. 

This procedure will precede the taking of land for a servitude or any construction related to the servitude. However, a time limit of one hundred and twenty (120) days shall be allowed for this procedure, provided that the taking of the land for the servitude or any construction related to the servitude may proceed after sixty (60) days. 

If there is no agreement on the choice of the replacement land within the period of one hundred and twenty (120) days and provided there is no contestation of the right to take the servitude, the compensation would then have to take the form of money. 

If there is no agreement between the Inuit Community Corporation and Québec respecting the determination of what is direct benefit to an Inuit Community or if the Inuit Community Corporation, instead of compensation in the form of land, chooses compensation in the form of money and the parties are unable to agree as to what is adequate compensation, the decision as to whether the servitude is of direct benefit and the amount of compensation shall be fixed by the Expropriation Tribunal of Québec, unless the parties agree to submit the matter to binding arbitration. 

D) Other 

Any land effectively withdrawn from Category I lands for the purpose of establishing a servitude which has been compensated for in the form of land or money will be classified as Category III lands. In the case of a servitude not effectively withdrawing the use of the land, such land shall remain Category I land. 

If the holder of the servitude no longer requires such servitude, the Inuit Community Corporation concerned shall have the option to have the land formerly subject to such servitude reclassified as Category I lands provided that the land which was allocated to the community as compensation, if such was the case, reverts to Québec to be reclassified as Category II or Category III lands depending on its status before the said land was used for compensation. 

Unless the Inuit of Québec are compensated in money in respect of expropriations by Québec and subject to expropriation by Canada and the provisions of paragraph 7.1.12 a), the total area of Category I lands shall never be less than 3130 square miles without the consent of the Inuit or exceed 3130 square miles without the consent of Québec. 

In respect to the above public servitudes, and servitudes for public purposes, and subject to the consent of the Lieutenant-Governor in Council, all public bodies, agencies and companies which now have or will have such powers defined in present or future laws of Québec will be able to establish such servitudes.

7.1.12 Future Occupation by Québec and Third Parties 

a) Québec and its representatives 

If appropriate Crown land is not available within Category I lands, lots within the said Category I lands shall be allocated at nominal cost by the Inuit Community Corporation to the appropriate authorities for community services supplied by Québec, its agents or mandataries, such as roads, schools, hospitals, police stations and telecommunications by lease, servitude, cession or other similar contract. 

b) Mining explorations and operations under existing rights 

Where lands which are the object of existing mining claims, development licences, exploration permits, mining concessions, mining leases and other similar titles pertaining to minerals as defined in the Québec Mining Act are surrounded by or adjacent to Category I lands, the owners of these rights or titles for the purpose of exercising the said rights shall have the right to use Category I lands, but only to the extent necessary in order to carry out their exploration or mining operations in accordance with Division XXII of the Québec Mining Act. Nonetheless, the appropriation of the lands required for such purposes shall be done by temporary servitudes only. The indemnity to be paid to the Inuit Community Corporation by Québec for the use (other than for exploration) of such Category I lands will be equivalent replacement land. In the case of exploration, the compensation to be paid to the Inuit Community Corporation by Québec for the use of such Category I lands shall be the equivalent to what is being paid to Québec for the use of surface rights on Crown lands in similar cases. 

In the event that areas of land contemplated in the immediately preceeding paragraph are developed as provided hereinabove, the Inuit Community Corporation concerned shall have the right to the replacement, notwithstanding paragraph 7.2.3, of an equivalent area of land in the same manner as set forth in the procedure for the replacement of Category II lands in the case of development. 

In regard to lands which will be the object of mining claims, development licences, exploration permits, mining concessions, mining leases and similar titles in the future, except the lands presently covered by any such titles which shall be governed by the special provisions hereinabove set forth, the exercise of any rights in or over Category I lands, shall be subject to the general regime set forth in this Section. 

All mining exploration and operations undertaken on or over Category I lands or immediately adjacent lands, or on lands within the exterior boundaries of Category I selections, shall be subject to the provisions of the Environment and Social Protection Regime established by and in accordance with Section 23 of the Agreement. The impact assessment shall include proposals for a land use and reclamation plan.

7.1.13 Expropriation by Canada 

Notwithstanding the Expropriation Act of Canada, no Category I lands may be expropriated by Her Majesty in right of Canada without the prior consent of the Governor in Council. 

Subject to the foregoing, nothing in the Agreement shall be interpreted as in any way limiting the power of Canada to expropriate for public purposes. 

7.1.14 Consultation 

Where an Inuit Community Corporation permits third parties to occupy Category I lands for projects of regional or provincial interest it shall first consult with Québec and the regional government concerned.

7.1.15 Future Mineral Rights 

a) General 

Any future exploration or exploitation of minerals within Category I lands, other than the exploration or exploitation under rights existing prior to the Agreement including the right to explore and mine extension of mineralization around the lands subject to such existing rights and subject to the provisions referred to in sub-paragraph 7.1.12b) of this Section, shall only be permitted with the consent of the Inuit Community Corporation holding the rights to the lands affected. Moreover, specific authorization from the Québec Government according to conditions specified in Québec mining laws and regulations, shall be required before any mining rights may be acquired. 

b) Steatite (soapstone), gravel and other similar substances 

Deposits of steatite (soapstone) or other similar substances used for traditional arts and crafts will belong to the respective Inuit Community Corporations. 

Permits must be obtained by the Inuit Community Corporation from the Department of Natural Resources for the use of gravel and other similar materials generally used for earthworks and general construction for personal and community use. However, the Department of Natural Resources may not withhold such permits provided all the regulations are observed. The duties provided for under any applicable provincial legislation shall not be collected.

i) the general public will have access to all roads, arteries, airports, bridges, public seaplane bases, wharves, harbours, principal rivers and lakes indicated in Schedule I to Section 6 and public buildings and lands used for public purposes; 

ii) persons involved in the construction, installation or operation of public servitudes and public utilities on or adjacent to Category I lands. Such right shall be exercised only to the extent required for such purposes; 

iii) persons involved in public administration or in rendering public services or engaged in technical surveys for public purposes on or adjacent to Category I lands, to the extent required for such purposes; 

iv) owners of any mineral or ancillary rights granted on or with respect to Category I lands and in respect to lands surrounded by Category I lands and persons engaged in the exercise thereof, to the extent required for such exercise; 

and such other persons as are authorized by the Inuit Community Corporation. 

Non-Native people presently residing in Category I lands shall have the right to remain until the expiration of their rights of occupancy or residency on such lands. 

7.1.16A Residence 

Non-Inuit spouses of Inuit beneficiaries, and their immediate families in the first degree, have the right to reside on Category I lands in accordance with the conditions established by the interested Inuit landholding corporation. 

Compl. A. no. 18, sch. 1, s. 15

7.1.17 Taxation 

Vacant Category I lands held by the Inuit Community Corporation shall not be subject to realty, water, business or school taxes. 

7.1.18 Exchange of lands 

Except as otherwise provided, where lands originally selected as Category I lands are expropriated or otherwise withdrawn from the use and enjoyment of the Inuit, such lands, when no longer required for the purposes for which they were expropriated or withdrawn, shall, at the option of the Inuit Community Corporation, be reclassified as Category I lands in exchange for the Category I lands obtained as compensation or, with the agreement of Québec, for an equivalent amount of other Category I lands. 

Lands within a five (5) mile radius from each community which for any reason are not selectable as Category I lands may, at the option of the Inuit Community Corporation, and with the agreement of Québec, when such reason ceases to exist, be reclassified as Category I lands in exchange for an equivalent amount of Category I lands situated outside the five (5) mile radius. 

7.2 Category II lands 

7.2.1 Definition 

Category II lands will comprise 35,000 square miles in the Territory north of the 55th parallel of latitude (of which 1,600 square miles shall not form part of the present regime and shall not be selected by the Inuit. These lands may, in the event of an agreement, be used by the Naskapi after having been selected by agreement with Québec.), where the Inuit shall have the exclusive right of hunting, fishing and trapping and other rights established under Section 24 of the Agreement. Other uses of Category II lands for purposes other than hunting, fishing and trapping shall be subject to the provisions set forth below. 

Part of the said Category II lands shall be allocated to the Crees of Great Whale River as provided in paragraph 8.3 of Annex 1 of Section 4. 

Category II lands shall remain under provincial jurisdiction.

Compl. A. no. 3, s. 14 

7.2.2 Third party interests 

The lands already ceded to third parties in ownership prior to the execution of the Agreement shall be excluded from Category II lands. 

Moreover, lands within the area of the said Category II lands which are subject to rights already ceded to third parties prior to the execution of the Agreement by way of leases or occupation permits, mining concessions and mining leases shall be Category III lands. At such time as the said rights revert to the Crown such lands shall be Category II lands. 

Moreover, existing roads, landing strips, airport installations, seaplane bases and maritime structures shall be Category III lands and as such shall be excluded from the administrative regime applicable to Category II lands. The large bodies of water surrounded fully or partially by Category II lands but excluded from Category II lands shall be identified provisionally in Schedule 4 of Section 6. 

7.2.3 Development 

Category II lands may be appropriated by Québec for development purposes provided such lands are replaced, or if the Native people wish and an agreement can be reached thereon, they are compensated.

Unless such activities are directly related to pre-development, the rights or the exercise thereof of non Native people in respect to their lawful activities shall be controlled by Québec through appropriate legislation or regulations and reasonable enforcement machinery if they interfere or could reasonably be expected to interfere with the rights granted to Native people under Section 24 of the Agreement. 

For the purposes of the Agreement in respect to Category II lands, “development” shall be defined as any act or deed which precludes hunting, fishing and trapping activities by Native people except for pre development; and “pre-development” shall be defined as any act or deed of an exploratory nature exercised during a limited time with a view to decide if development will take place or not. 

Except if otherwise provided herein, in the case of development, should the Inuit Community Corporation concerned choose replacement of land, such corporation shall indicate its preference to Québec as soon as the decision to proceed with the development is taken. 

If there is no agreement in respect to the choice of land, Québec shall then propose to the Inuit Community taking into consideration the Inuit Community's preference, an area with similar characteristics, insofar as is possible, to Category II land and contiguous to the location of the Category II lands subject to the replacement. Such area proposed as replacement shall be double the size of the land to be replaced. The Inuit Community shall then choose from this area a piece of land contiguous to the Category II land and equal in size to that land effectively taken away for the purposes of such development as full compensation for the land taken away. Compensation may also be made by money payments mutually agreed upon. 

This procedure will precede the taking of land for development or any construction related thereto. However, a time limit of one hundred and twenty (120) days shall be allowed for this procedure, provided that the taking of the land for the development of any construction related to such development may proceed after sixty (60) days. 

Such development shall be subject to the Environmental Regime set forth in Section 23 of the Agreement. 

JBNQA, par. 7.2.3 

A. corr. 

7.2.4 Public Servitudes 

All public servitudes established on Category II lands shall be without payment of compensation. 7.2.5 Natural resources 

a) Minerals and other underground rights 

Mineral exploration, technical surveys, mapping and diamond drilling activities may be carried out without replacement of lands and without payment of indemnity. Such activities must be carried out so as to avoid unreasonable conflict with harvesting activities. 

b) Steatite (soapstone) 

Every Inuk or Inuit Community Corporation may acquire without cost from the Department of Natural Resources a permit for the acquisition of steatite (soapstone) for use in traditional arts and crafts. Areas subject to such permits shall be marked by the Inuit or the Inuit Community Corporations in a manner similar to that used in claim staking. 

Such areas will have to be restricted to the outcrops easily accessible to the Native people. Furthermore, the right to the soapstone will always be subordinated to the rights to other mineral substances, in such a way that it will not prevent possible mining developments on such areas.

c) Forests 

Forestry operations on Category II lands will be defined according to management plans elaborated by Québec, which plans take into consideration the hunting, fishing and trapping activities. 

JBNQA, par. 7.2.5 

A. corr. 

7.2.6 Access 

Subject to the rights of the Inuit of Québec under Section 24 of the Agreement, persons exercising a right compatible with such rights of the Inuit of Québec, as well as persons exercising some duty imposed by law, shall have access to Category II lands, may remain thereon and erect construction thereon. The exercise of such rights shall be subject to the general restrictions of law and the provisions of this Section of the Agreement and shall be subject to the following additional restrictions: 

a) Tourism and recreation 

Subject to the rights of non-Inuit set forth in the Hunting, Fishing and Trapping Regime, non-Inuit will not be allowed to hunt or fish in Category II lands, except with the consent of the Inuit. 

b) Exploration, predevelopment activities, scientific studies and administrative activities Persons wishing to carry out exploration, predevelopment activities, scientific studies or administrative activities shall be required to obtain an authorization for such activities from Québec. Every request for such authorization shall include the following information: the objective, the approximate number of persons involved, the nature and importance of the work to be effected, the duration of such work and a description of the installations involved. 

The Inuit shall be advised of the information so given to Québec as soon as is reasonably possible. 

However, works which do not involve substantial operations on the field, such as geoscientific works and mining exploration of the type provided for by the Québec Mining Act will not be subject to the presentation of the information nor the obtaining of the authorization mentioned above. 

All such works shall be undertaken in such a manner as to avoid unreasonable conflict with the rights of the Inuit of Québec under the Hunting, Fishing and Trapping Regime.

7.3 Category III lands 

7.3.1 Rights of access to Category III lands shall be in accordance with legislation and regulations concerning public lands. 

The regime for the use of soapstone in Category III lands shall be that applicable, mutadis mutandis, to Category II lands. 

7.4 Development 

7.4.1 Notwithstanding anything else contained in the Agreement, Québec and Hydro-Québec, and their nominees and such other persons acting lawfully authorized shall have the right to develop the land and resources in Category III lands and also, for the purpose of development, Québec has the right to take Category II lands subject to the replacement or compensation as specified in this Section and such Category II lands shall then become Category III lands.

More particularly, the rights and guarantees given to the Native people by and in accordance with Section 24 of the Agreement shall be subject to the right to develop Category III and Category II lands on the part of Québec and Hydro-Québec and their nominees and such other persons as may be lawfully authorized. 

However, the developers shall be submitted to the Environmental Regime which takes into account the Hunting, Fishing and Trapping Regime. 

7.4.2 Subject to laws and regulations of general application except as hereinafter provided in paragraph 7.4.3, Québec, Hydro-Québec and all public bodies, agencies and corporations authorized by law to modify or regulate the flow of rivers of Categories II and III lands even if such rivers are flowing through or adjacent to Category I lands or have downstream effect on the part of such rivers included within Category I lands, subject to the following provisions: 

a) the flow regime shall not be modified in such a way as to increase the water level above the highest previously recorded water level of the river; 

b) for the purposes of establishing or exercising the servitudes contemplated by Sub Section 7.1.10 of this Section, the water level may be raised above the highest recorded level subject to the provisions of this Section; 

c) if shore facilities or other installations or rights in connection therewith are affected by the change of water level, Québec, Hydro-Québec or the public bodies, agencies or corporations shall be responsible for actual damages to such facilities, installations or rights in connection therewith. 

The special provisions of Section 8 of the Agreement shall take precedence over the provisions of the present Sub Section. 

7.4.3 Québec, Hydro-Québec and the said public bodies, agencies or corporations shall not be required to expropriate lands needed for the purposes contemplated in paragraph 7.4.2 nor to obtain any consent otherwise required for the utilization of such lands for the above purposes. 

7.5 The provisions of this Section can only be amended with the consent of Québec and the interested Native party. 

Legislation enacted to give effect to the provisions of this Section may be amended from time to time by the National Assembly of Québec.

8.1.2 Le Complexe La Grande (1975) 

La Société d'énergie de la Baie James and Hydro-Québec may construct, operate and maintain Le Complexe La Grande (1975) substantially as described herein, in whole or in part, with or without LA 1 and EM 1, at their option. 

The components of Le Complexe La Grande (1975) which are constructed shall substantially conform to and be those components contemplated by the Description Technique – Le Complexe La Grande (1975) dated October 20, 1975 attached hereto as Schedule 1 of this Section of the Agreement. 

The parties to the Agreement acknowledge that the Le Complexe La Grande (1975) is already under construction and therefore shall not be subject to the environmental regime established by the Agreement and further agree not to take any actions whatsoever which would prevent the construction of the said complex. 

No dam or powerhouse shall be constructed on the La Grande River between the estuary and the LG 1 powerhouse site on the said river without the consent of the Fort George Band Council.

8.1.3 Other projects 

It is recognized that there exists a possibility of future hydroelectric developments in the Territory. Studies are being carried out in relation to the N.B.R. Complex dealing with the development of the Nottaway, Broadback and Rupert Rivers hereinafter referred to as the N.B.R. Complex and in relation to the Great Whale Complex for the development of the Great Whale, Little Whale and Coast Rivers hereinafter referred to as the Great Whale Complex. 

It is agreed that these known projects and any additions and/or substantial modifications to Le Complexe La Grande (1975), if built, shall be considered as future projects subject to the environmental regime only in respect to ecological impacts and that sociological factors or impacts shall not be grounds for the Crees and/or Inuit to oppose or prevent the said developments. 

Notwithstanding the land regime established in Section 5 of the Agreement, the following provisions shall apply to the said developments, if built and the interested parties agree to execute the necessary documents to give effect to such provisions as may be required from time of time. 

a) Mistassini Lake Area 

The Mistassini Lake may be used as a reservoir for the N.B.R. Complex. 

The land required at the outlet of Mistassini Lake at or near the source of the Rupert River for control structures, channel works, if required, and appurtenant works including construction facilities, quarries and borrow pits may be used by La Société d'énergie de la Baie James, Hydro-Québec, Québec or their nominees as if such land were Category III lands for the purpose of constructing, operating and maintaining the N.B.R. Complex. 

b) Waswanipi Area 

The lakes listed herein and their surrounding land can be used as part of reservoirs and forebays within the N.B.R. Complex, but these respective lakes can only be raised to the following upper limits above MSL:

Goeland 930 

Waswanipi 930 

Chensagi 930 

Maicasagi 930 

Opataouaga 910 

Poncheville (Lady Beatrix) 910 

The parts of said lakes and their surrounding lands which form part of Category II lands, which shall be flooded by the reservoirs and forebays of the N.B.R. Complex, shall become ipso facto Category III lands as and from the moment La Société d'énergie de la Baie James and/or Hydro-Québec forward to the Crees a written notice of a resolution by the Board of Directors of either of said corporations that they are proceeding to build the N.B.R. Complex. 

Such Category II lands shall be replaced in accordance with the provisions of the land regime applicable to Category II lands provided that the conversion of such Category II lands into Category III lands shall not be a grounds for opposition by the Crees to the project nor shall the Crees be entitled to require any delay in preparation for and construction of the N.B.R. Complex on account of such lands. 

Such lands to be converted in accordance with the procedure set forth hereinabove from Category II to Category III lands may by the same procedure be increased or decreased in accordance with the plans for the N.B.R. Complex as revised from time to time. 

For the purpose of constructing, operating and maintaining transmission lines, two (2) corridors of approximately 750 feet wide each for the N.B.R. Complex and one (1) corridor of approximately 250 feet wide for the purpose of inter-connection may cross the Waswanipi Category I lands without land replacement or compensation provided that such corridors are located at least three (3) miles from the center of the new Waswanipi settlement at the time of construction of the first transmission line. 

The parties hereto undertake to sign all documents necessary to give effect to the foregoing. 

Notwithstanding the above, the land required in the Waswanipi area for the construction of the N.B.R. Complex may be maintained as Category II lands at the option of the Crees provided that all works carried out by or on behalf of La Société d'énergie de la Baie James and/or Hydro-Québec for the purpose of construction, operation and maintenance of said complex shall be considered as if carried out in Category III lands and provided that the land used will not be replaced. 

c) Rupert House Area 

The N.B.R. Complex may include up to a maximum of six (6) powerhouses and dams along the Rupert River west of the Matagami road. 

These powerhouses and dams may be built in the river and/or on the adjacent Category I and Category II lands with their appurtenant works, roads, transmission lines, sub-stations, switching stations, construction facilities, quarries and borrow pits in the same manner as if such works were located in Category III lands it being understood that the Category I and Category II lands shall be limited by the shore line of the future forebays, subject to the following provisions: 

i) the powerhouse and dam hereafter referred to as R 1 nearest the present Rupert House settlement shall be located at a distance of at least two (2) miles from the center of the present Rupert House settlement; 

ii) no living quarters for workers nor temporary settlement for staff and families shall be located within a radius of ten (10) miles of the center of the present Rupert House settlement and no permanent non-native community, town or settlement shall be built within a radius of forty (40) miles of the center of the present Rupert House settlement for the purpose of the N.B.R. Complex; 

iii) there shall be a strict control of access during the construction of the N.B.R. Complex between the camps, temporary villages for staff and families and the construction sites on one hand and the Rupert House settlement on the other; 

iv) permanent facilities for maintenance and operation of the N.B.R. Complex shall not be located in the vicinity of the R 1 powerhouse and dam except for the purpose of operating and maintaining the R 1 powerhouse and dam only.

La Société d’énergie de la Baie James and the Rupert House Band may by mutual agreement modify the special provisions dealt with in this sub-paragraph 8.1.3 c). 

Should La Société d'énergie de la Baie James choose to build part of the N.B.R. Complex along the Broadback River instead of along the Rupert River, all provisions relating to the Rupert River powerhouses and dams mentioned in this sub-paragraph 8.1.3 c) shall apply mutatis mutandis to the powerhouses and dams that shall be built on the Broadback River if they are built there instead of on the Rupert River. 

The land required within Category I and Category II lands for the purpose of the construction, operation and maintenance of the said powerhouses and dams and appurtenant works, hereinabove mentioned in this sub-paragraph 8.1.3 c) shall not be subject to replacement nor compensation. 

The construction schedule of the N.B.R. Complex shall provide for the construction of the R 1 powerhouse and dam last of the powerhouses and dams of the Complex unless ecological reasons make it preferable to build said powerhouse and dam earlier. 

La Société d’énergie de la Baie James and/or Hydro-Québec undertake that construction, operation and maintenance of the N.B.R. Complex shall not require the re-location of the Rupert House settlement. 

d) Nemiscau Area 

It is acknowledged that some of the members and former members of the Nemaska Band temporarily residing in the Rupert House and Mistassini settlements intend to return to the vicinity of their original settlement and consequently the parties to the Agreement consent to the establishment of a new settlement for such persons, subject to the conditions set forth below and elsewhere in the Agreement. 

No Category I lands shall be chosen for the Nemaska Band in the area planned to be used for the powerhouse, forebay, dam and dykes to be located in the Nemiscau Lake Area; 

If the said powerhouse, forebay, dam and dykes are located in part in Category II lands, such lands shall be replaced in accordance with the provisions of the lands regime applicable to Category II lands provided that the conversion of such Category II lands into Category III lands shall not be a grounds for opposition by the Crees to the project nor shall the Crees be entitled to require any delay in preparation for and construction of the N.B.R. Complex on account of the said conversion of such lands. 

e) Great Whale Complex 

For the purpose of the Agreement, the Great Whale Complex shall be defined as follows: 

– downstream of the Coast River, the water of the Great Whale River is raised and diverted in a westerly direction through secondary valleys; this water is combined with the water diverted from the Little Whale River and discharged directly into Hudson's Bay through a powerhouse hereafter referred to as GB 1 situated approximately twenty (20) miles north of the Great Whale settlement. 

– two (2) other powerhouses hereafter referred to as GB 2 and GB 3 are contemplated on the Great Whale River. 

– Bienville Lake may be used as a reservoir. 

No Category I lands shall be chosen for the Crees and Inuit of Great Whale in the area planned to be used for the powerhouses, forebays, dams and the reservoirs to be located in the vicinity of Great Whale unless by mutual agreement. For the purpose of the Agreement, even though studies of the project are preliminary, Hydro-Québec or its nominee undertakes that any dam and powerhouse built in that vicinity shall not raise the water level above the following Elevations above MSL: 

Powerhouse and reservoir Maximum Elevation 

GB 1 650 

GB 2 960 

GB 3 1 280 

Bienville 1 315 

If the said powerhouses and reservoirs, and their appurtenant works, are located in part or wholly in Category II lands, such lands shall be replaced in accordance with the provisions of the land regime applicable to Category II lands provided that the conversion of such Category II lands into Category III lands shall not be grounds for the Crees or the Inuit to oppose the project nor shall the Crees and Inuit be entitled to require any delay in the preparation for and the construction of the said Great Whale Complex on account of such lands. 

f) Remedial measures 

The special provisions of sub-paragraphs 8.1.3 a) to 8.1.3 e) shall not eliminate the reasonable mitigating measures required to minimize effects of the projects on the hunting, fishing and trapping by the native people and there shall be remedial works for these projects. Nothing herein shall prevent La Société d'énergie de la Baie James and/or Hydro-Québec from entering into agreements with the Crees and/or the Inuit for the purpose of establishing joint or separate remedial work activities.

1.2 The LG 2A Project 

The LG 2A Project comprises additional generating facilities at the La Grande 2 Reservoir, consisting of a new 6-unit powerhouse and appurtenant works. 

The new LG 2A powerplant is located about one kilometer west of the existing LG 2 powerplant (plate 3) and consists of water intake works, an underground powerhouse, discharge works, an underground transformer substation, a surface switching station and a 315 kV transmission line (plate 4). The existing La Grande 2 Reservoir and spillway also serve for the operation of the LG 2A powerplant. 

The water intake works comprise an approach channel formed by two dykes, an intake structure and six penstocks. 

The approach channel is approximately 600 meters long and 145 meters wide. The dykes are of rockfill with a glacial till core. The crest lengths are respectively 550 and 535 meters and the total volume of fill is about 325 000 cubic meters. 

The intake structure for the six penstocks is located downstream of the existing D-6A dyke of the La Grande 2 Reservoir. This dyke acts as an upstream cofferdam during construction of the intake structure. Each of the six openings in the intake structure is equipped with a set of trashracks and a vertical lift wheel gate. 

Six parallel penstocks, each approximately 200 meters long, excavated in the rock, connect the intake to the turbines. The sloping sections of the penstocks are concrete-lined while the horizontal sections are steel-lined. 

LG 2A is an underground powerplant, excavated in rock and similar in design to the existing LG 2 powerplant. The machine hall is approximately 221 meters long, 23 meters wide and 50 meters high with six turbine-generator units of 333 MW each. The installed capacity is 1998 MW and the design maximum discharge is 1620 cubic meters per second. The net maximum head is 137 meters. 

The discharge works comprise six draft tubes connected to a surge chamber and two tailrace tunnels approximately 1330 meters long, 15 meters wide and 20 meters high. 

The transformer substation has six 13.8-315 kV transformers and is located in an underground chamber excavated in the rock immediately upstream of the main machine hall. Two shafts for the isolated phase bus ducts connect the transformer substation to the surface switching station. 

The LG 2A powerhouse is connected to the Radisson Substation through a double-circuit 315 kV transmission line. This transmission line is approximately 16 kilometers long. 

The four existing 735 kV transmission lines, leaving the LG 2 powerplant, are relocated north of the present alignment.

1.3 The Brisay Project 

The Brisay Project consists of a powerplant with 460 MW installed capacity and a 315 kV transmission line to the Tilly Substation at LG 4 via the site of the future “Nikamo” collecting substation. 

The powerplant is located adjacent to the existing Brisay Control Works which include the intake structure for the powerplant on the common approach canal from the Caniapiscau Reservoir (plate 5). The intake structure has two gates and is connected to the two head race tunnels of which the upstream 100 meters also were constructed concurrently with the Brisay Control Works (plate 6). 

The two head race tunnels are approximately 500 meters long, excavated in rock, and are connected through penstocks of approximately 90 meters long to the spiral cases of the turbine generator units. 

The powerplant will receive its water from the Caniapiscau Reservoir where the maximum and minimum operating levels will remain at elevations 535.5 and 522.6 meters (1760 and 1717 feet) respectively as described in Section 8 of the James Bay and Northern Québec Agreement. 

The powerplant is located above ground. At the generator floor level the powerhouse is approximately 105 meters long and 38 meters wide. It contains two generating units of 230 MW each driven by a Kaplan turbine with steel spiral casings (plate 6). The total installed capacity is 460 MW and the design maximum discharge through the powerplant will be approximately 1133 cubic meters per second. The nominal head is 38.4 meters (plate 7). 

The discharge works consist of two draft tubes and a tail race connected to the discharge canal of the Brisay Control Works.

The transformer/switching station is located partly on the roof of the powerhouse and partly on the adjacent rock. 

A double circuit 315 kV transmission line connects the Brisay powerplant to the Tilly Substation via the site of the future “Nikamo” collecting substation (plate 8). 

The generating units for the Brisay powerplant may, at Hydro-Québec’s option, be changed to three or four units of a total installed capacity of 460 MW within generally the same structural configuration, in lieu of the two 230 MW units described above. Such change shall not require an amendment to this Agreement, but the Cree Regional Authority shall be notified in writing of such change.

1.4 The RND Project 

The 450 kV DC transmission line between Radisson Substation and the 49th parallel will be approximately 600 km long, on steel towers anchored by guy wires spaced approximately 500 meters. 

A few rigid-type towers will be used (2%) as well as some guy-supported angular towers (6%), which will occupy surface areas of approximately 60 meters x 70 meters. The standard guyed towers will each occupy surface areas of approximately 24 meters x 30 meters. Two main conductors (four-wire bundles), supported by “V” type insulators, will have a minimum ground clearance of 13.2 meters. 

The right-of-way will be 60 meters wide and in general will be cleared only 52 meters. 1.4.1 Radisson Substation 

The substation site is the same as that of the Radisson Substation referred to in the James Bay and Northern Québec Agreement.

The Radisson Substation will, in addition to the features described in the James Bay and Northern Québec Agreement, consist of three 735-315 kV power transformers, six 735 kV transmission line startup facilities, four 315 kV transmission line startup facilities, a power converter of approximately 2000 MW and the 450 kV DC transmission line startup facility. 

Total additional space required is approximately 394 000 square meters, of which 130 000 square meters will be used for the converter facility. The 735 kV section will be used mainly as a switching facility for the three LG 2 to Nemiscau transmission lines. The 315 kV section will be used for transforming and integrating into Hydro-Québec’s James Bay grid the power generated by the LG 2A and LG 1 (1986) powerhouses. 

1.4.2 Looping of the three LG 2 – Nemiscau 735 kV transmission lines 

The switching system for feeding the 2 000 MW power converter requires the looping of the three LG 2 – Nemiscau lines between the LG 2 Switching Station and the Radisson Substation. 

The loops for the first and second lines require seven new towers on a 2.5 km long new right-of-way and the loop for the third line requires thirteen new towers on a 2.5 km long new right-of-way. 

Technical specifications of these loops are identical to those of the three LG 2 – Nemiscau lines. 1.4.3 Grounding electrode 

A grounding electrode is required to maintain the neutral terminal of the converter at ground potential. 

The electrode will consist of a steel conductor placed on a coke bed at a depth of 3.5 meters in ground saturated with water and with minimal electrical resistance. 

The actual site for the grounding electrode is still under study. The Cree Regional Authority shall be notified in writing of the actual site of the grounding electrode and the alignment of the transmission line described in 1.4.4 when these are determined. 

1.4.4 Transmission line from Radisson Substation to the grounding electrode 

The grounding electrode and the Radisson Substation will be linked by a 2-conductor transmission line on wood pole structures spaced an average of 100 meters occupying approximately 8 meters x 8 meters of land including guy wires.

8.1.4.3 Le Complexe La Grande (1975), as described in the JBNQA, shall include the following projects : 

1.1 LA 1 Project 

The LA 1 Project consists principally of a powerhouse, spillway and temporary diversion tunnel as well as two dams and eighty dykes for reservoir closure, and related works.

The powerhouse is located on the right bank of the Laforge River. It has six turbine/generator units with a total installed capacity of 852 MW. The design flow is 1,613 m3/s and the rated head is approximately 57,3 m. The powerhouse is fed by a channel heading to an intake control structure with six gated openings. Six penstocks link the intake with the scrollcases in the powerhouse. The tailrace channel is approximately 500 m long; its width varies from 135 m at the outlet of the powerhouse to some 100 m at the river. The transformer and switching substation is located on the roof of the powerhouse an has six bays, one for each generating unit. 

The spillway is located on the right bank of the Laforge River upstream of the powerhouse at the west end of the main dam. It has two openings, each 11 m wide, and its discharge capacity with the reservoir at its maximum level of 439 m is 2,450 m3/s. 

The Laforge 1 development also includes two dams, one on the Laforge River and the other on the Vincelotte River, and eighty dykes. These works allow the formation of the reservoir which includes a part of Lac des Oeufs; the reservoir at its maximum level has an area of approximately 1,288 km2. The annual drawdown of the reservoir is limited to approximately 3 m. However, it is possible that once every ten years, on average, the drawdown reaches 8 m. 

The main dam is approximately 985 m long and 66 m high. Its construction requires the placement of approximately 2,397,000 m3 of fill materials. 

The dam closing the Vincelotte River has a maximum height of approximately 28 m and a length of approximately 1,178 m. Its construction requires the placement of 1,080,000 m3 of fill materials. 

Eighty dykes are required to close the reservoir. They contain a total volume of approximately 4,225,000 m3 of fill materials and they have a total crest length of some 19,575 m.

The LA 2 Project consists principally of a combined powerhouse and intake, spillway, an earthcore rockfill embankment abutting these structures at both ends, a closure dyke and related works. 

The LA 2 powerhouse is built behind dyke KD-14, at the outlet of the existing Fontanges reservoir.

The “run-of-the-river” powerhouse is located at the lowest point of the valley, to the south of the Fontanges channel. It incorporates two turbine/generator units having a total installed capacity of 310 MW. The design flow is 1,200 m3/s and the rated head is approximately 26,9 m. The two intakes are served by a short intake channel and are integrated into the powerhouse. The 13,8 – 315-kV transformers are located on the draft tube deck and the substation is located on the roof of the powerhouse. Two three-phase 315- kV power lines link the substation to the switching station located some 100 m south of the powerhouse. 

Each intake is 32 m wide and is divided into three passages provided with separate sets of guides for the trashracks, bulkhead gates and intake gates. The semi-spiral cases are of concrete. The tailrace is approximately 935 m long and its width varies from 64 m to 40 m at the draft tube outlets and reaches approximately 225 m at Lake Toqué. Between Lake Toqué and Lake Des Espoirs, the natural riverbed is deepened along the left bank in order to increase the head. 

The spillway is located on the north side of the powerhouse and linked to it by a concrete gravity dam of approximately 20 m in length. It has two bays, each approximately 11 m wide, and its discharge capacity is 2,300 m3/s when the reservoir is at a normal level of some 481 m. The spillway discharge is returned to the water body below the Fontanges channel. 

To the south of the powerhouse and to the north of the spillway a rockfill embankment dam with a moraine core completes the impoundment. The main dam south of the powerhouse is approximately 644 m long and its maximum height is 22 m. 

The north dam has a maximum height of 17 m and is some 321 m long. A concrete gravity wall which supports the moraine core permits the change of alignment between the north dam and the spillway. 

The existing Fontanges channel, which is used for diversion during the entire construction period, is closed after breaching the dyke KD-14 by a homogeneous dyke built upstream from the existing control weir. This dyke is approximately 229 m long and has a maximum height of 8 m. 

The total surface area of the existing Fontanges reservoir at its normal level of operation is approximately 240 km2.

8.2.2 Water levels in Sakami Lake 

La Société d’énergie de la Baie James undertakes to take all steps necessary to maintain the minimum level of Sakami Lake at or above Elevation five hundred and ninety-six feet (596') above MSL. 

The diverted flow from the Eastmain, Opinaca and Rupert rivers through the La Sarcelle Powerhouse and the La Sarcelle Control Structure at the Opinaca Reservoir outlet shall not exceed two thousand seven hundred and seventy cubic meters per second (2,770 m3/s). 

However, the La Sarcelle control structure and the La Sarcelle powerhouse have a combined discharge capacity of three thousand three hundred and sixty two cubic meters per second (3,362 m3/s) and the flow rate through both structures may from time to time exceed 2,770 m3/s in cases of emergency, to ensure public safety or to reduce the frequency of use of the Eastmain River control structure. 

Remedial works shall be carried out along the course of the diverted water between the Opinaca Reservoir and the forebay of the LG 2 powerhouse for the purpose of minimizing the negative impacts of the diversion on the fauna of the area. 

In the Lake Boyd area, the said remedial works are presently being carried out pursuant to agreement between la Société d’énergie de la Baie James and the interested native people and the Cree native party acknowledges that it is satisfied with such works.

In the area of Lake Sakami, the said remedial works shall include, at the outlet, works to increase the flow capacity for the purpose of ensuring that the maximum water level of the lake shall not normally exceed six hundred and thirteen feet (613’) above MSL at the outlet. 

For the purpose of this paragraph, the minimum and maximum water levels mentioned herein shall be measured at the point longitude 76o 40 '46" west and latitude 53o 28' 02" north.

The roads built by La Société d'énergie de la Baie James and/or La Société de développement de la Baie James for Le Complexe La Grande (1975) in the territory may be used by the Crees, except for roads within work camps and construction sites, as soon as such roads have been completed and are safe, subject to the observance of regulations applicable from time to time. 

The Crees may also use the service stations along these roads in the same manner as all other road users. 8.8.2 Supply of electricity to isolated northern communities 

The parties hereto agree to accelerate the execution of the Protocole d'Entente referred to in paragraph 8.6.8 providing for the supply of electricity to isolated Québec northern communities.

8.9 Remedial works and other ameliorating undertakings 

8.9.1 Preamble 

It is acknowledged that some of the potential impacts and many of the remedial measures related to Le Complexe La Grande (1975) cannot be determined at this time and that remedial measures shall need to be studied, planned and executed during the construction and operation period of Le Complexe La Grande (1975). 

Consequently, the parties agree that a continuing relationship between the Crees and La Société d'énergie de la Baie James is necessary to further assess the impacts from the project on the Cree way of life and to carry out alleviating measures. 

Such continuing relationship between the Crees and La Société d'énergie de la Baie James shall be established through the formation of a corporation under the English name of La Grande Complex Remedial Works Corporation and under the French name of La Société des Travaux de Correction du Complexe La Grande, hereinafter referred to as SOTRAC. 

SOTRAC will be financed by La Société d'énergie de la Baie James, as provided for and within the limitations stipulated in paragraph 8.9.4 hereafter. 

8.9.2 SOTRAC 

SOTRAC shall be established as a non-profit Québec company under Part III of the Québec Companies Act or under other Québec legislation. 

La Société d’énergie de la Baie James and the Grand Council of the Crees (of Québec) shall take the necessary measures to effect such incorporation forthwith upon the execution of the Agreement. 

There shall be two classes of membership, one class of which shall be voting and the other non-voting. There shall be equal representation of La Société d'énergie de la Baie James and the Grand Council of the Crees (of Québec) in the voting membership of the Corporation. Both La Société d'énergie de la Baie James and the Grand Council of the Crees (of Québec) may replace the members representing them from time to time at their discretion. 

The board of directors shall consist of five (5) members, one of whom shall be non-voting (“honorary”). Two (2) of the voting directors shall be appointed by or with the consent of the Grand Council of the Crees (of Québec), and the two (2) others by or with the consent of La Société d'énergie de la Baie James. The non-voting member of the board shall be appointed by or with the consent of the Grand Council of the Crees (of Québec) subject to the concurrence of La Société d'énergie de la Baie James in regard to such appointment. 

To be valid, any resolution by the board of directors must have the assent of the majority of the voting directors present including at least one voting member of the Grand Council of the Crees (of Québec) and one voting member of La Société d'énergie de la Baie James. 

In the case of an equal vote in respect to a proposed resolution, the matter forming the object of the proposal may be submitted to binding arbitration by any director present when such resolution was voted on as provided in Sub Section 8.16. 

The application for incorporation and proposed by-laws shall be such as to give effect to the intent of the provisions of the present Sub Section. 

The object of SOTRAC shall be to plan, evaluate, authorize, execute and operate, by itself or by others, remedial works and programs provided for within the scope and limitations defined hereafter.

The purpose of such remedial works and programs shall be primarily to alleviate negative impacts of Le Complexe La Grande (1975) on hunting, fishing and trapping of the Crees and on activities related to such hunting, fishing and trapping, and secondarily to provide for enhancement works carried out to offset such negative impacts. 

Without restricting the generality of the foregoing, SOTRAC shall have the sole responsibility for: 

a) All works related to the planning and execution of the capture, harvesting and/or re-location of animals prior to, during and after the filling of the reservoirs and forebays within Le Complexe La Grande (1975). In works related to the Caniapiscau reservoir, some Inuit will be employed, if available. 

b) All works related to the planning and execution of the re-organization of the Cree traplines as consequence of Le Complexe La Grande (1975). 

c) All works related to the planning and execution of general remedial works benefiting the Crees downstream of “LG 1, Revision 1” or “LG 1”, as the case may be, and downstream of the points of diversion of the Eastmain and Opinaca Rivers. 

However, the undertakings of La Société d'énergie de la Baie James under Sub Sections 8.5, 8.6 and 8.7 of this Section shall not be the responsibility of SOTRAC. 

d) The administration and operation of SOTRAC including fees, salaries, travel expenses, office space, office supplies, and all other costs related to the administration and operation of SOTRAC. 

The board of directors of SOTRAC shall be restricted to the mandate and responsibilities set forth in this Sub Section. For greater clarity, a list of permissible remedial works and programs which may be carried out by SOTRAC is attached hereto as Schedule 4 to form part hereof. 

In general, the decisions shall be taken within the definition of permissible remedial works and programs and budgetary restraints. The Crees, through their representatives on SOTRAC, shall generally propose remedial works and programs to be undertaken. However, La Société d'énergie de la Baie James and other parties to the Agreement may also propose remedial works and programs for consideration by the board of directors of SOTRAC. 

La Société d’énergie de la Baie James shall, through their representatives on SOTRAC, advise the Crees on compatibility of proposed programs with project undertakings and on scientific, technical and economic aspects of proposed programs. 

La Société d’énergie de la Baie James representatives may oppose proposals before the board of directors of SOTRAC which they consider outside the defined permissible scope of remedial works and programs, proposals which are deemed incompatible with project plans and programs which do not comply with the rules and procedures for expenditure of public funds. The Grand Council of the Crees (of Québec) representatives may oppose programs which they deem incompatible with the interests of the Crees, or they consider outside the defined permissible scope of remedial works and programs. Such opposition shall not be exercised unduly and shall, if requested by either party, be subject to binding arbitration as provided in Sub Section 8.16. 

All works carried out on behalf of SOTRAC shall be subject to applicable laws and regulations and shall be subject to the various regimes established by the Agreement. 

SOTRAC operations shall be managed by a limited full-time staff reporting directly to the SOTRAC board of directors. The head office shall be located in Montreal and a branch office or branch offices shall be established to the extent required.

Remedial works and programs approved by SOTRAC may be carried out through third party contracts awarded, administrated and supervised by La Société d'énergie de la Baie James until December 31, 1982 and thereafter directly by SOTRAC. 

The transactions and contracts shall be in French and English, except when otherwise authorized by the board of directors of SOTRAC. SOTRAC shall arrange and pay for translations authorized by the board of directors of SOTRAC from time to time. Responsibility for translations to and from Cree shall rest with the Grand Council of the Crees (of Québec), but shall be paid for by SOTRAC. 

The Crees shall have a preferential status for employment arising from remedial works and programs carried out by or on behalf of SOTRAC. Further, SOTRAC shall as far as practical design contract packages for remedial works and programs so the Cree bands and/or Cree enterprises get a fair opportunity to tender on contracts for such works and programs. For the award of contracts by SOTRAC, the Cree bands and Cree enterprises shall enjoy a 10% price preferential. SOTRAC shall take all administrative steps to implement the foregoing.

Introduction

Numerous studies have been conducted regarding a hydroelectric development plan for the northern area of the James Bay Territory. Among several alternatives subjected to close consideration, the final plan chosen jointly by members of the Québec Hydroelectric Commission and the Board of Directors of the Société d'énergie de la Baie James, in broad terms can be outlined as follows: 

– the construction of four powerplants, LG 1, LG 2, LG 3 and LG 4 on the La Grande River; 

– the diversion of a portion of the watershed of the Caniapiscau River at Lake Duplanter, into the watershed of the Laforge River, a tributary of the La Grande River, upstream of the LG 4 powerplant; 

– the diversion of the Eastmain and Opinaca Rivers towards the La Grande River, upstream from the LG 2 powerplant. 

The total installed capacity of these four powerplants is 10 190 MW. The regulated mean annual flow of the La Grande River at the LG 1 powerplant will be approximately 118 000 cfs. 

See Plates 1, 2 and 3 for maps of the area. The main features of the La Grande Complex are listed in the following tabulation.
