The James Bay Advisory Committee on the Environment (JBACE)

In March 2017, the JBACE presented a Guide to ensure consideration of Aboriginal fisheries during project self-assessments in accordance with the 2012 Fisheries Act. The production of this guide stems from the JBACE's recommendation sent to the DFO in August 2014.

The JBACE has submitted its recommendations regarding the review of federal environmental assessment processes, namely in relation to the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act amended in 2012.

The JBACE has tabled its brief on Bill 102 regarding modernization of the Environment Quality Act.

The JBACE held a workshop on cumulative effects with the assessment and review committees on September 21, 2016
