From the article: "Provincially owned Hydro-Quebec has paid out the tidy sum of $6.4 billion in dividends to the government since 1998, and there's more to come. The question now is whether there's too much of a cash squeeze on the corporation and whether consumers will wind up paying for it." - Cree Plan Huge Wind Farm: Federal Government and Quebec Must Approve Plans

Wholesale Export of Quebec's Forests into the U.S. Market is Destroying our Indian Way of Life - Crees Seek to Have Our Right to Full and Equal Participation in Any Secession Discussion Reflected in the Federal "Clarity Bill"
The federal government has introduced Bill C-20 "An Act to give effect to the requirement for clarity as set out in the opinion of the Supreme Court of Canada in the Quebec Secession Reference" referred to below as the "Clarity Bill". The bill is meant to establish some rules for any future referendum by Québec or any other province on the issue of secession. It has farreaching implications for the James Bay Crees and other Aboriginal peoples - especially those in Québec.
Mr. Romeo Saganash is the Director of Quebec Relations for the Grand Council of the Crees/Cree Regional Authority. Mr. Saganash arranges for presentations to Committees of the Quebec National Assembly and maintains relations with the members of the Legislative Assembly and with the ministers charged with responsibilities touching matters of interest to the Crees. He, along with Mr. Abel Bosum and Mr. Robert Mainville are members of the Liaison Committee on the new relationship between the Government of Quebec and the Cree Nation.
The Government of Quebec is a signatory of the James Bay and Northern Quebec Agreement (JBNQA) (1975). The Crees and Inuit of Northern Quebec were the first Aboriginal Nations to accept in their treaty, provisions for education and health and social services provided by Cree institutions set up under Quebec Law. The Cree communities, unlike the Inuit, have local governments established under federal law by virtue of the 1975 JBNQA and through the Cree/Naskapi (of Quebec) Act, but also have local governments under the Quebec Government's Cree Villages Act. In addition to this, the Crees have local and regional police services and a complement of Cree game wardens set up in cooperation with Quebec, a Quebec Income Security Program for Cree Trappers, and a register of Cree beneficiaries of the JBNQA, maintained by Quebec.
Most importantly, the Crees signed the "Agreement Respecting a New Relationship Between the Cree Nation and the Government of Quebec" [PDF, 782 kb] on February 7, 2002 that implements certain obligations of Quebec to the Cree People for community and economic development under section 28 of the JBNQA. While Canada has similar and sometimes joint obligations with Quebec under the same section, Canada has yet to sign a similar agreement to implement its obligations.
This historic Agreement implements with respect to Quebec recommendations of the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples and provides for the sharing of revenues derived from mining, hydroelectric development and forestry carried out on the traditional lands of the Cree People. This includes all Category 1, 2 and 3 lands in the area under the Agreement. The Agreement, and related agreements with Hydro Quebec, are designed to address historic problems in achieving equitable participation of the Cree people in the employment opportunities and revenues created by development on the traditional Cree territories.
