M-13.1 - Mining Act
Section 101.0.3
Disposition versions
101.0.3. The lessee shall establish a monitoring committee, whose mandate is determined by regulation, to foster the involvement of the local community within 30 days after the lease is issued, unless a committee has already been established for the same project.
The committee members are chosen in the manner determined by the lessee.
The lessee determines the number of representatives who are to sit on the committee. However, the committee must include at least one representative of the economic sector and one member of the public from the region where the project is situated and, if applicable, one representative of each Indigenous nation or community, as the case might be, consulted by the Government with respect to the project. The committee must also include a representative of each local municipality or regional county municipality whose territory is included, in whole or in part, on land that is the subject of the project that so requests. A majority of the committee members must be independent from the lessee.
However, the Minister may authorize a different committee composition if the lessee shows that it is impossible to find a representative of each sector.
The committee shall be maintained until all the work provided for by the rehabilitation and restoration plan has been completed.
The provisions of the first paragraph are in force except insofar as it determines the mandate of the monitoring committee. See 2024, c. 36, s. 181 par. 8.
