s.
AFN reserves the right to stop any contemplated Crown or Proponent Activity
that would likely have a significant non-compensable Impact.
t.
The Crown must not dispose of or grant to any third party any interest in land
that is part of AFN's Traditional or Treaty Territories without AFN’s prior free and
informed consent.
5. Trigger for Consultations
a.
The duty to consult with AFN is triggered when the Crown contemplates or
becomes aware of any Activity.
b.
In addition, AFN expects where possible to engage in Consultation and
negotiations for accommodation at the strategic-planning level, including in
respect of the following but not limited to:
c.
i
co-management of resources (eg: fisheries, wildlife protection plans, and
the like)
ii
protection and management of watersheds and ecosystems
iii
land use planning for broader areas in the Traditional Territory
Unless AFN decides otherwise, if any Activity has begun or is underway before
Consultation with AFN has commenced or completed, where the duty to
consult is triggered, the Crown and where applicable the Proponent must
undertake Consultation with AFN forthwith. AFN expects the Crown to suspend
such Activity immediately until such time that, in the process of Consultation,
AFN is satisfied in its sole discretion that the Activity may recommence.
6. Giving Notice
a.
The proponent shall communicate its request to consult by issuing a written
Notice of Request to Consult by email and letter to the AFN Lands & Resources
Department, in a timely manner and in clear, concise and understandable
language.
b.
The Notice of Request to Consult shall be provided at an early stage of
planning, and as early as possible, prior to undertaking any Activity which affects
the rights or interests of AFN in its Traditional Territory.
