Who We Are 

The Nunavik Marine Region Planning Commission (NMRPC) is an institution of public government created under the Nunavik Inuit Land Claims Agreement (NILCA). The NILCA was signed on December 1, 2006, and came into force on July 10, 2008. The NILCA is a treaty and is constitutionally protected within the meaning of section 35 of the Constitution Act of 1982. The other institutions of public government created under the NILCA include the Nunavik Marine Region Impact Review Board and Nunavik Marine Region Wildlife Board.

Where We Work 

The NMRPC conducts its planning work in, and is responsible for the processing of proposals for, projects occurring in the Nunavik Marine Region (NMR), which includes the waters and islands offshore of northern Quebec. For the Joint Zone of the Cree and Nunavik Inuit Overlapping Interests Area, the NMRPC works jointly and equally with the Eeyou Marine Region Planning Commission. For the Areas of Equal Use and Occupancy between Nunavut Inuit and Nunavik Inuit, the Nunavut Planning Commission is responsible.

What We Do 

The NMRPC’s primary responsibility is the development and implementation of a Marine Use Plan for the NMR. The NMRPC is currently working with planning partners on the development of a Marine Planning Strategy, which will provide a framework for the creation of the Marine Use Plan. Once approved, the Marine Use Plan will protect and promote the existing and future wellbeing of communities adjacent to the NMR and, where necessary, restore the environmental integrity of the NMR. As per the NILCA, special attention will be devoted to promoting the wellbeing of Nunavik Inuit.

The NMRPC is also responsible for reviewing proposed projects in the NMR to determine if they are to be sent to the Nunavik Marine Region Impact Review Board for impact review screening.

Once a Marine Use Plan is approved for the NMR, the NMRPC will review proposed projects for conformity with the Marine Use Plan as well as for screening by the Nunavik Marine Region Impact Review Board. Figure 1 below shows the steps in this process.
