Section 2.4
Disposition versions
2.4. In order to reconcile mining activities with the activities pursued by Indigenous people for food, ritual or social purposes or the activities pursued in accordance with the Act respecting hunting and fishing rights in the James Bay and New Québec territories (chapter D-13.1), the Government may enter into, with an Indigenous nation represented by all the band councils of the communities forming the Indigenous nation, with the Makivik Corporation, the Kativik Regional Government or the Cree Nation Government, or with an Indigenous community represented by its band council, northern village council, Cree village council or Naskapi village council, an agreement determining the boundaries of a parcel of land where any mineral substance forming part of the domain of the State is reserved to the State, on the conditions fixed in the agreement, or is withdrawn from prospecting, mining exploration and mining operations.
The reservation or withdrawal provided for in the first paragraph takes effect on the date fixed by the agreement.
The reservation or withdrawal limits shall be registered in the public register of real and immovable mining rights.
The Minister may, by the registration of a notice in the public register of real and immovable mining rights, temporarily suspend prospecting on and the granting of mining rights in respect of a parcel of land whose boundaries are indicated in the notice, until the reservation or withdrawal provided for by the agreement takes effect.
