What is the status of the Torngat Mountains National Park Reserve of Canada and what benefits will the Inuit enjoy inside the Park Reserve?
A. Canada and the Province have negotiated a land transfer agreement by which approximately 9,600 square kilometres (3,700 sq. miles) of land will be transferred by the Province to Canada to create the Torngat Mountains National Park Reserve. Canada will establish the Park Reserve under the Canada National Parks Act on the same day that the Labrador Inuit Land Claims Agreement comes into effect. The Inuit have negotiated a Park Impacts and Benefits Agreement with Canada that sets out a wide range of rights and benefits that Inuit will enjoy within the Park Reserve. These include harvesting rights, rights to carving stone, and economic development opportunities related to the Park. Once all outstanding Aboriginal claims in northern Labrador have been resolved, the Torngat Mountains National Park Reserve will become the Torngat Mountains National Park.
