6. To permit the application of measures to ensure that Aboriginal people’s reality and practice of traditional and ceremonial activities are more fully taken into account and to, at the same time, promote their safety and that of the public, the Government is authorized to, on a matter within the scope of this Act, enter into an agreement with an Aboriginal nation represented by all the band councils, or councils in the case of northern villages, of the communities that make up that nation, with the Makivik Corporation, with the Cree Nation Government, with an Aboriginal community represented by its band council or the council of the northern village, with a group of communities so represented or, in the absence of such councils, with any other Aboriginal group.
The provisions of such an agreement prevail over the provisions of this Act and the regulations. However, persons to whom such an agreement applies are exempt from the application of provisions of this Act and the regulations that are inconsistent with the agreement only to the extent that those persons comply with the agreement.
