The NWT Mineral Resources Act (MRA) and its regulations will be the first-ever legislation governing mineral resources to be fully drafted in the NWT.
Partners in the Intergovernmental Council of the Northwest Territories (IGC) and its technical working group are working to design and put in place the regulations needed to complete the Act and bring it into force. The development of “policy Intention papers” is one of the final steps in their co-development process.
These papers capture the intent and rationale of the proposed regulations and will serve to guide the legal drafting process.
Before formal drafting begins, however, NWT residents are being provided an opportunity to consider their themes and respond to their reasoning by providing specific input and presentations to the IGC through its MRA implementation team.
Have Your Say
You are invited to read through this document. If you have questions, want to provide specific input, or have a formal presentation or paper that you would like to have considered in response to these policy intentions, contact the GNWT’s MRA Implementation Unit at: MRA_Implementation@gov.nt.ca.
Background
The development of the MRA and its regulations has been a complex and enormous undertaking.
Led by a GNWT implementation team, the IGC has worked through a series of processes to understand and identify all of the regulations that will be required by the new Act.
The intent, approach and direction for each identified regulation has been developed, evaluated and refined. The IGC work has been guided by: research, analysis, subject-matter experts, best practices from other jurisdictions and engagements with NWT leaders, industry stakeholders and organizations involved and impacted by mining in the NWT as well as self-identifying members of the public.
Once fully drafted and agreed upon by the IGC, Section 35 consultation will take place on the proposed regulations. A (statutory) final public posting of the regulations will occur before the process is concluded and the NWT Mineral Resources Act is brought into force.
