An evaluation of the implementation of the environmental regimes established by comprehensive claims settlements in Canada / prepared for the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples by Paul F. Wilkinson... : Z1-1991/1-41-138E-PDF
“The objective of the report is to evaluate the implementation of the environmental regimes created by comprehensive claims settlements in Canada. In practice, however, only the regimes created by the James Bay and Northern Québec Agreement ("JBNQA") have been implemented for long enough to permit meaningful evaluation. The structure and functioning of the environmental regimes established by the JBNQA are described, including the contents of the EISs, the objectives of the Regimes, and the mandates and structures of the Review Bodies that implement them. An historical overview of the implementation of the Regimes is presented, based on annual reports, minutes of meetings, and previous implementation reviews. The topics covered include year of establishment, frequency of meetings, place of meetings, communications programmes, aboriginal membership, continuity of membership, attendance, budgetary issues, remuneration of members, language of operations, availability of documentation in Cree and Inuktitut, secretariats, and the numbers and types of projects reviewed. The Regimes are then evaluated in light of the following criteria: their stated objectives; the situation prevailing in the area in question prior to their establishment; the situation prevailing in other areas; the standards normally applied to consultative committees; and the opinions of the parties"--Executive summary, p. 5.
