Submitting Confidential Information for Designated Office Evaluations and Executive Committee Screenings
There are provisions in the Yukon Environmental and Socio-economic Act to designate information confidential. The information can be submitted by a participant in relation to an assessment, or from a proponent as part of a proposal. There are different applications to complete depending on whether the designation relates to Traditional Knowledge (YESAA 121(a)) or Access to Information Exemption (YESAA 121(b)). As a result of the legislated definitions of “first nation” and “traditional knowledge”, s.121(a) applications may be made in respect of traditional knowledge of the Tetlit Gwich’in, or a Yukon First Nation, within the meaning of the Umbrella Final Agreement. The application is submitted and reviewed by the Executive Committee and applies to both the Designated Office Evaluations and Executive Committee Screenings.
