Policing provisions for Naskapi Category IA-N land repealed from federal Act

Plain-language summary · AI-assisted · not legal advice

Two sections of this federal Act that governed policing jurisdiction and policing-services agreements on Naskapi Category IA-N land have been repealed. Section 195, which extended the Naskapi village municipality's territorial jurisdiction for Quebec Police Act purposes to include Category IA-N land, is gone. Section 196, which allowed the band to enter policing-services agreements with Quebec, the Cree Nation Government, the Kativik Regional Government, or other bodies, is also removed. Organizations or parties that relied on those provisions to establish or maintain policing arrangements on Category IA-N land should review whether separate authority now governs those arrangements.
