Section 305.7
Disposition versions
305.7. Despite any contrary provision, where a state of emergency is declared by the Government or where a situation makes it impossible in fact to comply with the obligations relating to the exercise of mining rights by their holder, the Minister may prescribe any measure necessary in respect of the rights and obligations under this Act.
A measure prescribed under the first paragraph shall be published in the Gazette officielle du Québec and takes effect on the date indicated. The measure is applicable for the period the Minister determines, which shall not exceed one year following the end of the state of emergency or of the situation. If necessary to prevent or limit serious or irreparable harm, the Minister may, during the following five years, extend the period each year before its expiry.
Before adopting or extending such measures, the Minister must take into consideration the uses and preservation of the territory and the impacts on local and Indigenous communities.
