About this statute

This Act generally requires licences or regulatory authority for using waters or depositing waste, with listed exceptions and special rules for Délîne and Tåîchô communities. This part sets out how the Board and Minister appoint members, approve and regulate licences, and manage conflict of interest and compensation rules. This provision covers licence assignment, public hearing procedures, decision deadlines, public registers, cost recovery, and related regulatory powers. This provision lets the Commissioner, Minister, and inspectors manage water-use and waste rules, inspections, remedial directions, violations, and penalties. The provision lets the Minister issue non-payment certificates, lets the Board publicize violations and penalties, gives the Board hiring and remuneration powers, preserves certain pre-existing waters-related rights and licences, and sets the Act’s coming-into-force dates.
