The overriding purpose of this First Nations of Quebec and Labrador Consultations Protocol is to establish a framework to ensure the respect of the right of the First Nations of Quebec and Labrador to be consulted and accommodated before Canada, Quebec, Newfoundland and Labrador make decisions or take actions that may affect First Nations’ rights. This Protocol is designed for use in situations where Aboriginal claims or rights have not yet been fully acknowledged or recognized through treaties, negotiations, court decisions or other means. Where rights are so acknowledged, the obligations of federal and provincial governments are even more substantial in terms of process and the sharing of responsibilities and social and economic benefits with First Nations.
