167. Subject to the provisions applicable to Category I lands under the Act respecting the land regime in the James Bay and New Québec territories (chapter R-13.1) and notwithstanding section 154, the Government may, at any time, when it deems it appropriate in the public interest, authorize, on its conditions, the carrying out or the operation of a project that has not been authorized by the Deputy Minister, or modify certain conditions imposed by the latter.
In such cases, the Deputy Minister may, after consulting the Review Committee, recommend to the Government that it add to its decision certain conditions designed to ensure the protection of the environment and social milieu. The Government may impose such conditions or any other condition it deems useful.
