Since these islands are not part of Nunavut`s urbanization zone, there was no need for an overlapping agreement with the Nunavut Inuit. The Nunavik Inuit Land Claims Agreement (NILCA) came into force on July 10, 2007. It applies to the offshore region of Quebec, northern labrador and northern labrador. The 2008 Nunavik Inuit Land Claims Agreement, which settled the Nunavik Inuit offshore claim, contains a language describing the agreement, as well as the Cree Offshore American Agreement, signed on July 7. Article 11 of the NILCA entrusts the Ministry of the Environment with responsibility for the implementation of the Impact and Benefit (IBA) agreements for all parks in the territory, as well as for the negotiation and implementation of IPA for protected areas under either a common jurisdiction or the exclusive jurisdiction of the territory government. There are currently no protected areas for the Nunavik Inuit settlement. In 2008-2011, the Department of the Environment worked with Parks Canada Agency, the Canadian Wildlife Service and other federal and territorial partners to promote parks and nature reserves in Nunavut, including the Nunavik Inuit Settlement Area. In 2008-2011, AANDC undertook several activities related to the implementation of the NILCA. These activities included AANDC`s participation in the NILCA Implementation Committee to ensure the proper and timely implementation of the NILCA, the department`s participation in the establishment of the three public public institutions, and the establishment of funding agreements for these public authorities. In this regard, AANDC has helped to resolve funding and related issues for these public authorities and has held briefings for Nunavik`s regional organizations and institutions on NILCA. Finally, the department participated, in conjunction with Makivik Corporation, in the implementation of the overlapping agreements of Articles 27, 28 and 29 of the NILCA. Finally, nilCA provides for separate overlap agreements between the Nunavik Inuit and Nunavut Inuit, the Crees of Eeyou Istchee and the Labarador Inuit. The James Bay Islands, covered by the agreement, were mainly used by Cree hunters, although the Inuit, whose descendants still live in Chisasibi, hunted there, particularly on Charlton Island, which is now uninhabited.
