Negotiation of Socio-Economic Agreements
The major development projects targeting our natural resources, such as the Plan Nord, generally involve the traditional territories of aboriginal peoples. We can advise you in negotiating fair and equitable socio-economic agreements (agreements on outcomes and benefits) with businesses interested in developing these territories. These agreements allow aboriginal communities to benefit from a project (training, employment, contracts, profitsharing and environmental protection measures) and in return, provide promoters with the community’s consent.
