Introduction
Consulting in the sphere of the mining and exploration industry, including land development and other issues, requires a profound knowledge of the territory of interest. The consulting directly depends on the legislation and resources of the particular regions. The current essay will compare mining legislation and climate change inquiries of the Northwest Territories, Nunavut, and Atlantic Provinces. Primarily the work will address how these differences affect the professional practices of the consultant.
Discussion
The Northwest Territories and Nunavut are famous for their economic focus on natural resources such as gold, diamonds, and gas. Due to this, the mentioned regions have well-developed legislative regulations regarding the exploration of resources and mining licensing, which are vital for the professional consultant to know. To start any resources-oriented prospecting or mining, the company should gain the Permit to Prospect. The next step is registering an extraordinary Claim and recording the territory according to the Claim’s requirements. Each of the mentioned procedures has many details, such as the registration and appliance deadlines. The regulations are created to protect the interests of the land, its geology, and natural resources. For example, the Mining Acts of 2014 toss the significant prohibitions respecting prospecting, staking, and mining (Northwest Territories Mining Regulations, n.d.). These regulations are centered on providing safe mining and protecting particular territories from Claims. Due to this, the work of the consultant becomes complicated. Consulting in the sphere of land Claims requires constant research of the related legislation. Moreover, the consultant also should be ready to analyze the financial aspect of the mining in this region. The market pricing for minerals and stones may also be a question of discussion. Therefore, working Northwest Territories and Nunavut includes any mining specifics. The general knowledge of the region’s landscape and economy is not enough to provide a profound consultation.
Such a complicated consultation is a peculiar feature of working with Northwest Territories and Nunavut. Compared with the Atlantic Canada region, the amount of required knowledge is significantly higher. The Atlantic Provinces of Canada are relatively poor and economically backward. The exception is the province of Newfoundland and Labrador, which is mining ore and oil, thanks to which, in the last ten years, it has significantly improved its economic situation. The rest of the province in this part of Canada does not have rich natural resources. The economy of these regions is mainly focused on fishing and maritime transport. The legislation injuries are significantly more minor compared to the mentioned above territory. However, the consulting in this region requires more focus on climate conditions, floods, and the question of climate change.
Conclusion
In conclusion, it can be stated that professional consulting practices differ in various jurisdictions. The specificities of the economic situation, the presence of the resources in related legislation, the climate condition, and various other factors affect the professional practices of the consultant. The differences in the two mentioned regions require the professional to stress and research different spheres of the activities which take place on the territories.
