Community Consultation
Kitigan Zibi Anishinabeg
Consultation
On November 18, 2004, the Supreme Court
of Canada rendered two decisions concerning
the obligation of consultation of First Nations
and the duty to accommodate their interest. In
Taku River Tlingit First Nation v. Tulsequa
Chief Mine Project, [2004] S.C.C. 74 and
Haida Nation v. British Columbia [2004]
S.C.C. 73, the Supreme Court of Canada
declared that the Crown has a duty to consult
and accommodate in cases where Aboriginal
title and rights have not
VETO:
been proved in court. The
obligation of consultation and
having the
the duty to accommodate are
vote which
based on the protection
of ancestral right specified
will stop
in section 35(1) of the
a decision.
Constitution Act of 1982.
When does the government
have to consult us?
Canada and Quebec have a constitutional
duty to consult and accommodate First
Nations before taking actions that may
affect First Nation interests. This includes:
modification or adoption of legislation,
policy-making,
planning
processes,
modification or adoption of resource
allocation regimes and the approval of
specific projects of resource allocations.
Basically, the government must consult
with us because it will impact us socially,
economically or culturally.
Furthermore, in Haida, the court found
that the province had a duty to consult
with First Nation at the strategic planning
stage. First Nations must be involved in
the decision-making at the higher level
where fundamental resource allocations
are made. An example of this would be
to not only have a say where and how
the trees will be cut, but have a say in the
total volume cut over an area.
• The
duty to consult always requires
meaningful good faith consultation and
willingness on the part of the Crown and to be
able to adapt to changes in information gathered
during the process [Taku River, Haida].
• The
aboriginal group is also required to act
in good faith, and must outline their claims
with clarity. [Haida]
• Where
consultation is meaningful, there
is no ultimate duty to reach agreement.
Rather, accommodation requires aboriginal
concerns be balanced reasonably with
potential impacts on those concerns and
with competing societal concerns. [Taku
River] Therefore, First Nations do
not have veto power when it comes to
decision making in the process.
What is the government
required to do?
This duty requires that Canada and
Quebec: 1) act in good faith and ensure an
effective process throughout; 2) provide
First Nations with information regarding
the action contemplated; 3) listen to the
First Nation’s concerns; 4) incorporate
those concerns into the decision-making
process; and 5) take steps to accommodate
the affected Aboriginal interests made
clear through the consultation process.

Forestry
The Québec government is
responsible
for
managing,
protecting and developing the public
forests in a sustainable manner. It
has adopted both the Forest Act
and the Regulation respecting
standards of forest management
for forests in the domain of the
State (RSFM) to better organize
and structure the many forest
management activities carried out
in the public forests and specifically
on our traditional territory, mainly
by the forestry industry. Under
the terms of the Forest Act, the
Minister of Natural Resources
and Wildlife can issue a timber
supply and forest management
agreement (TSFM), to a company
or processing mill owner, granting
the company the right to harvest a
certain volume of timber of a certain
species in a given area, known as a
forest management unit (FMU).
The TSFM holder must manage
the forest in such a way as to ensure
long-term use of the forest which
includes harvesting, recreational
activities, maintaining landscapes
and other potential natural
resource developments in the long
term. One of the TSFM holder’s
Definition
obligations is to prepare forest
management plans in line with the
Minister’s specifications, taking into
account the needs and concerns
of other forest users, of which the
Kitigan Zibi community is one. All
the agreement holders in a given
management unit must contribute
to the preparation of the plan for
that unit. If they are unable to reach
a consensus, they must nevertheless
submit a draft plan.
The forest planning mechanism for
public forests consists of the general
forest management plan (GFMP)
and the five year forest management
program. Agreement holders are
responsible for preparing and
implementing both the plan and
the program. The Ministry oversees
all activities.
The General Forest Management Plan (GFMP)
The GFMP is divided into five main sections:
•
•
•
•
•
A profile of the FMU (description and statistical data);
A review of past forest management activities in the area;
The results of the allowable annual cut calculation;
The general management strategy retained for the FMU;
The five-year management program.
All forestry information from Ministry of Natural Resource.

Community Consultation • Forestry
Common Area (in french:
Aire Commune): In Quebec’s
public forests, area on which
one or several holders of a
Timber Supply and Forest
Management Agreement are
authorized to harvest the wood
from a particular specie or
species group, and where they
must, in exchange, carry out
silvicultural work.
Hectare: a metric unit area, 100
m by 100 m or 2.471 acres.
Cubic metre (m3 or m^3): a
measure of volume of wood 1m
by 1m by 1m.
Forest Management Unit
(FMU): an area of forest
managed as a unit of harvesting
and other renewable resources.
Timber Supply and Forest
Management Agreement (in
french: contrat d’approvisionnement et d’amenagement
forestier (CAAF): In Quebec,
a contract that entitles its
holder to obtain each year,
on the forest land described
in the agreement, a forest
management permit to harvest
a volume of round timber of
one or more species to supply
his wood processing plant, on
condition that he/she carries
out silvicultural treatments to
attain the annual yield indicated
in the agreement for each area
intended for forest production.
Regulation respecting standards of forest
management for forests in the domain of
the State (RSFM)
The RSFM, prepared by the Ministries responsible
for wildlife and the environment, contains a number
of rules and regulations aimed at promoting the
regeneration of the forest and the protection of
water, wildlife, plant and soil resources. The RSFM
also ensures that forestry work is harmonized with
other activities that occur in the forest. Among
other things, it requires protective strips of forest to
be left standing along watercourses, and establishes
the maximum size of logging areas. It contains
nearly 400 standards, all of which are designed
to protect the forests and their components. Any
companies which break any of the standards are
subject to penalties and fines.

Stumpage
Every forest company or individual who
harvests timber from public forests or
privately owned forest land must pay a fee to
the provincial government, this is referred to
as stumpage. This fee is based on the value of
the timber as it stands uncut in the woods.
The fee is also dependent of the quality of
the wood and its location in one of the 161
zones which cover public forests. It is also
adjusted four times a year to stay within
market prices of finished products. A portion
of this fee is used to pay for silviculture work
on the harvested sites.

Lands With Wildlife Protection Status
Numerous portions of public land located on traditional territory
have received a legal status following the natural resources
protection objectives. These different legal statuses are under
both the federal and/or provincial government’s authority.
Wildlife Preserve
A wildlife preserve is an area that is set aside from development and recreational purposes in
order to protect wildlife and their habitats. They are established to protect rare species, provide
sanctuary for species that are important for hunting and tourism or to protect wildlife.
Wildlife preserve is under provincial responsibility but their management is given to the SEPAQ.

Outfitter Establishments
A person who commercially provides lodging and
services that are related to hunting and fishing activities
is considered an outfitter.
When an outfitter has exclusive rights on a territory,
only the clients of that outfitter can practice hunting and
fishing activities. To obtain exclusive rights, the outfitter
must sign a lease with the government of Quebec and
the lease is valid for nine years.
An outfitter without exclusive rights is one that offers
lodging as well as hunting and fishing activities on public
and private land. However, other hunters and fisherman
have a right to practice their activities on public land
even if an outfitter offers services on that territory.
When the outfitter offers lodging on public land they
need to hold a valid lease to operate a commercial resort
from the Quebec government.

The Costs Per Year
(to be an outfitter with exclusive rights)
• For
• For
hunting rights $16.99/ km² + taxes
fishing rights $16.99/ km² + taxes
• For
trapping rights $1.53/ km² + taxes
$246.85 no taxes
• Permit
So, for a 100 km² area it cost per year $1 699 (for fishing) + $1 699
(for hunting) + $153 (for trapping) + $246.85 = $3 797.85

Provincial Park
A provincial park is an area set aside to protect a system of representative and special landscapes and
features. The park offers outdoor recreational activities (including controlled sport fishing), tourism
and environmental education. It is also protected from all commercial resource extraction.
Provincial parks are under provincial responsibility but the management is given to the Société des
Etablissements de Plein Air du Québec (SEPAQ).

ZEC
A Zone d’Exploitation Contrôlée (ZEC) is a controlled harvesting zone; they were set up in 1978
to take over for private clubs. ZECS are managed by non-profit organizations; they are managed and
administered by volunteers. These organizations are responsible for the management as well as the
wildlife conservation within the ZECS. Some objectives of a ZEC are wildlife conservation and to enable
people to have access to wildlife.
ZECS are under provincial responsibility.

Community Wildlife Area
In Quebec, a community wildlife area is a
body of water in which the management of sport
fishing is entrusted to a non-profit corporation
through a leasing arrangement with the Minister
of Natural Ressource and Wildlife. The nonprofit corporation, made up of community
representatives, is mandated to improve the
quality of sport fishing. In this way, the agency
retains its role as manager of the resource; for
example, it continues to determine the species
that can be fished, the quotas for each species
and the authorized fishing gear. The non-profit
corporation issues fishing licences and sets fees.
The agency can use the income generated to
protect the resource or improve habitat.
The decision to establish a community wildlife
area is never imposed by the government. Instead,
users must advise the agency of their interest
in establishing such an area and demonstrate
their willingness to become actively involved
in managing and protecting the resource. The
result is an increased feeling of responsibility by
users towards the resource, which is likely to lead
to changes in behaviour, particularly decreased
poaching, one of the possible reasons for the
decline of some fish populations.
Since 1996, this form of fisheries management
has been used in four Quebec regions: Lac SaintJean, Lac Saint-Pierre and the areas around the
Baskatong and Gouin reservoirs.

Wildlife Harvesting
Big game (moose, white tailed deer, black bear and caribou) annual
harvesting is summarized under provincial legislation. For a nonnative hunter it is an obligation to present their catch to a registration
control spot. During registration, the animal is sexed and aged and
the shooting location is recorded on the Quebec map.
Small game (grouse, snowshoe hare) harvesting is summarized only
on structured territories (ZEC, Wildlife reserve and Exclusive right
outfitters’ territories).
Harvesting of fur bearing animals is summarized only on trap lines. The total harvest can
also be established following the number of pelts sold each year.
Fish harvesting is summarized only on structured territories (ZEC, Wildlife reserve,
Provincial Parks, Community Wildlife Area and Exclusive rights outfitter’s territories).

Wildlife Management Tools
(Fishing, hunting or trapping)
Wildlife management is based on periodic animal density
estimations (the population size and density can be counted
using various sampling methods or by estimating the number of
recorded harvests).
Depending on the tendency of the animal population densities,
wildlife managers can adjust harvesting pressures by;
•
Changing harvesting season
(date and length)
•
Establishing quotas
(on species or/and on area)
•
Zoning
•
•
Establishing the size, the age class
and sex of animal allowed
Controlling the types of arms,
fishing tools or traps

Watt (W): A watt is a unit of measurement for Power.
ex. A one hundred watt light bulb will consume
one hundred watts of power when turned on.
If the light bulb was left on for 3 hrs, it would consume a total
of 300 watt-hours. Watts measure instantaneous power while
watt-hours measure total energy consumed over a period of time.2
Megawatt (MW): Is a unit for measuring power and is equal to one million watts.
