55. The local integrated land and resource management panel is set up in order to ensure that the interests and concerns of the persons and bodies affected by planned forest development objectives are taken into account, to define local sustainable forest development objectives and to agree on measures to harmonize the use of resources.

The composition and operation of a panel, including its dispute resolution mechanisms, are the responsibility of the Minister or, if applicable, the responsible bodies referred to in section 21.5 of the Act respecting the Ministère des Affaires municipales, des Régions et de l’Occupation du territoire (chapter M-22.1). The Minister or body must, however, invite the following persons or bodies, or their representatives, to sit on the panel:

(1)  the Native communities, represented by their band council;

(2)  the regional county municipalities and, if applicable, the metropolitan community;

(3)  the holders of a timber supply guarantee;

(4)  the persons or bodies that manage controlled zones;

(5)  the persons or bodies authorized to organize activities, provide services or carry on a business in a wildlife sanctuary;

(6)  the holders of an outfitter’s licence;

(7)  the holders of a sugar bush management permit for acericultural purposes;

(7.1)  the holders of a permit to harvest timber to supply a wood processing plant;

(8)  the lessees of land for agricultural purposes;

(9)  the holders of trapping licences who hold a lease of exclusive trapping rights; and

(10)  the regional environmental councils.

A list of the participants on the panel, once the panel’s composition has been established, must be sent to the Minister if its composition and operation are not under the Minister’s responsibility. The Minister may then invite any persons or bodies not on the list to sit on the panel, if the Minister judges that their presence is needed to ensure integrated management of the resources and land.
