The Government of the Northwest Territories (GNWT) has released an overview of the policy intentions that will guide the drafting of regulations for the NWT Mineral Resources Act (MRA).    

An important next step in the development of regulations for the MRA, these policy intentions reflect the objectives and rationales agreed to by northern governments under the Legislative Development Protocol developed and adopted by the Intergovernmental Council of the NWT.

NWT residents are encouraged to consider the overview of policy intentions provided and to respond with comments or formal submissions through the GNWT’s Have Your Say Engagement Platform.
