Does the Labrador Inuit Land Claims Agreement provide for Labrador Inuit input with respect to environmental issues?
A. The Labrador Inuit Land Claims Agreement provides for the establishment of an Inuit environmental assessment process for the assessment of projects in Labrador Inuit Lands. No project will proceed in Labrador Inuit Lands unless approved by all governments requiring an assessment of the project, including the Nunatsiavut Government. Inuit will be guaranteed participation in federal and provincial environmental assessments respecting projects in the Labrador Inuit Settlement Area outside Labrador Inuit Lands and may have a role, through consultation or other means, in those outside the Labrador Inuit Settlement Area that may reasonably be expected to have adverse effects in the Labrador Inuit Settlement Area or Inuit rights under the Labrador Inuit Land Claims Agreement.
