At the request of our general assembly, on September 1st, 2005, I accepted the respon-sibility of Vice-Presidency of the First Nations of Quebec and Labrador Economic
Development Commission (FNQLEDC), with the intention of contributing to the achievementof our organization’s mandates and promoting a sense of belonging among the members.
Since its implementation, our organization achieved several of its mandates, but after fouryears of existence, it became evident that an update of its strategic plan was required todirect the priorities of the next three years; this update was conducted keeping in mind theimprovement of services to the clientele and our involvement in regional files which couldbe beneficial to the First Nations.
One of the biggest mandates that have to be achieved is the hosting of the First NationsSocio-Economic Forum. This initiative put forward by the Chiefs of the Assembly of FirstNations of Quebec and Labrador (AFNQL) and overseen by the Commission, represents forboth the members of the Board of Directors and myself, an opportunity to put to good useour economic development related experience and thus provide our support to theCommission, so that all efforts are joined to make out of this event a huge success. In orderto achieve our goal I rely on each individual member of the Commission to support theteam of the Commission’s professional experts.
There is still a lot of work facing our way, and it is crucial that the communities, and espe-cially the community economic development officers, concentrate their efforts in creating aunifying movement which will lead to promising progress in the economic developmentfield, for the wellbeing of our community members.

Implementation of our Standpoint
In accordance with our mandates, we undertook a restructuring of our strategic plan inorder to meet the needs of our members and enhance the extent of our involvement inregional issues.
The First Nations of Quebec and Labrador Economic Development Commission (FNQLEDC)has in fact implemented projects and activities which will have qualitative and quantitativeimpacts on the First Nations. Among other things, we underline the major involvement ofthe FNQLEDC in the management and achievement of the First Nations Socio-EconomicForum.
The disparity in the economic area between the civil society and the First Nations commu-nities encourages our Commission to take a stand as a front line contributor, which by thesame token, gives us all the intervention latitude required to put recommendations forwardin regards to the orientation of the provincial and federal ministries and major institutionsin Quebec.
This possibility of modifying or heightening the awareness on actions, which are often pre-conceived on uncertain bases and which can have negative impacts within our circle,remains in the background for many communities and its leaders. However, we dedicate allthe necessary efforts to upgrade the situation of the overall communities and to improve thesynergetic potential of our two societies.
As a regional organization which has developed an expertise in the area of economic develop-ment, the FNQLEDC is in a position to promote the respect of the First Nations’ position andorientations. Also, it has the opportunity to develop avenues which are still unexplored andwhich could potentially improve our overall activities at both the local and regional levels.
Of course, this stance and recognition are the outcome of the involvement of our members,of our board of directors and our partners, which over and above the funding issue favorour presence and our participation in the different groups of regional proceedings, whichallows us to establish strong and durable ties.
Pierre BastienDirector General
A WORD FROM THEDIRECTOR GENERAL

The First Nations of Quebec and Labrador Sustainable Development Institute (FNQLSDI)was put in place following the adoption of the First Nations of Quebec and Labrador
Sustainable Development Strategy, in 1997. In spite of the tremendous efforts invested intothe creation of this Institute, it is only in 2001 that the activities really got under way.
Since then, the FNQLSDI has increased its work load, and its team now includes three full-time employees, due among other things, to an accrued demand for assistance and supportfrom the First Nations communities. Therefore, the necessity of putting in place its ownstructure and relieving the administrative burden from the Assembly of First Nations ofQuebec and Labrador (AFNQL) who was the responsible body since the creation of theFNQLSDI, lead us to conclude an administrative agreement with the First Nations of Quebecand Labrador Economic Development Commission (FNQLEDC). A management contract,signed in October 2005 between the three parties involved, outlines the specifics of theagreement signed between the two organizations.
The FNQLSDI strives in the areas of environment, forestry, species at risk, energy, climatechanges, community planning, land management, water management, consultation,research and finally any file related to land and natural resources. The Action Plan for 2005-2006, adopted by the Chiefs’ Table in May 2005 shows the overall activities achieved so farby the FNQLSDI.
The adequate funding for the activities of the FNQLSDI is one of the stakes involved and itis a huge one. For the past two years now, the FNQLSDI has been operating with a basicfunding from the Department of Indian and Northern Affairs Canada (DIAND) in theamount of $150,000. Various projects are funded by other federal departments, such as theCanadian Forest Services, Environment Canada and Fisheries and Oceans Canada, as outlinedin the financial statements of this annual report. Following are the main events hosted by theFNQLSDI during the current year:
Seminar on forestry certification (2004-2005 funding);Workshop on environmental contamination and traditional food (partnership with theFNQLHSSC);Workshop on climate changes (within the scope of the International Conference held inMontreal in November 2005);Workshop on endangered species;Special reflection session on energy;

2005-2006 ACTIVITY REPORT
The 2005-2006 Report outlines the situation of the overall activities for
the five mandates of the FNQLEDC. After four years of existence, always
keeping in mind its goal of improving services to its clientele,
the FNQLEDC initiated a communication and marketing
strategy for the benefit of its members.
1. ADMINISTRATIVEMANAGEMENT
The administrative policies developed sincethe creation of the FNQLEDC are always ineffect. However, a revision of the 2005-2008strategic plan was conducted. In order tomaintain and optimize the services to ourmembers, a marketing strategy was initiatedin November 2005, and which we intend topursue during the next year.
At the request of the Regional Chief, theFNQLEDC accepted the mandate of mana-ging the First Nations of Quebec andLabrador Sustainable Development Institute(FNQLSDI) for one or two fiscal years, in aneffort to relieve the Secretariat of the AFNQLfrom the management of the Institute.
2. TRAINING ACTIVITIESIn March 2006, the FNQLEDC completed itsmandate of training which was based on atriennial plan.
Once again this year, this initiative washighly appreciated with a satisfaction rateon the part of the participants of over91,3%. The six training sessions (three inFrench in Chicoutimi and three in English in
Val-d’Or) for the year 2005-2006, whichwere offered by the École nationale d’ad-ministration publique (ENAP) of Universitédu Québec à Montréal, revolved around thetheme “Reading and interpretation offinancial information in a context of abusiness project”, which was divided intothree sessions:
Session 1: Notions and basic tools associated to a business projectSession 2: Reading and interpretation of financial statementsSession 3: The budgetary process in linkwith the project or the business plan.
In order to finalize this project, a consulta-tion session was held on January 26, 2006which focused on the assessment of thethree years of training provided by theFNQLEDC, and on the future of this pro-gram. Recommendations and proposals wereput forward and at the general request, thecommunity economic development officerswould like to get more training.
Aside from the training sessions offered tothe members, the staff of the FNQLEDC alsohad the opportunity to take advantage ofthese skills enhancement courses in linkwith their duties.

3. INFORMATION ANDCOMMUNICATION
The coming into office of the new Infor-mation Officer in October 2005 enabled theCommission to undertake new projects andestablish sustained contact with its mem-bers. The publication of the news bulletincalled “Nikan” was maintained. As for theWebsite of the FNQLEDC, it is being rede-signed and will be in line in a near future.Other activities were also conducted:
An information session was presented to theCEDOs on August 31, 2005, on the followingthemes:
The different legal forms of businesses;Presentation by Groupe Genivar on thecomprehensive solutions in engineeringand construction; Presentation by Groupe Nekiera’ha, con-sultants specializing in the managementand development of First Nations busi-nesses and organizations;
The Economic Development Advisor under-took a tour of several communities withinthe perspective of a permanent project oncommunity profiles.
On January 25, 2006, a joint information ses-sion between the CEDOs and the First NationsLocal Centers’ representatives (FNLC) wasorganized. The initiative emerged from thewill of the two Commissions (FNQLEDCand the FNHRDCQ) to join their efforts.
4. PUBLIC RELATIONS ANDREPRESENTATION
To a regional organization, the importance ofcreating business links brings about variousforms of partnerships and promotes the accessto strategic information which allows theCommission to take part in discussions andbecome involved in files related to the regionaleconomic development.
By accepting to take over the responsibility ofthe 2006 First Nations Socio-Economic Forum(FNSEF) in January 2005, the FNQLEDC reaf-firmed its determination to become the leaderin the economic development of the FirstNations of Quebec and Labrador.
Aside from this major event, the Commissiongets involved regularly in various activitieslinked to the regional economic developmentand which are likely to be of interest to itsclientele:
4.1 FIRST NATIONS SOCIO-ECONOMIC FORUM
As a result of resolution #20/2004 adoptedby the Chiefs of AFNQL, a mandate has beenentrusted with the FNQLEDC to set up theSecretariat of the FNSEF, which started onits activities on October 31, 2005. A team ofthree members form the Secretariat of theForum.
The financial aspect of the FNSEF was a time-consuming factor in relation to the activitieswhich were undertaken at the outset. Theprovincial and federal governments werecalled upon to fund the activities related to theForum and are now acting as our partners inthe event.
Several activities in preparation to the Forumwere carried out, including the consultationof 14 First Nations communities throughoutQuebec. An exhaustive questionnaire wasdeveloped with the support of the regionalcommissions and organizations of theAFNQL. This questionnaire was distributedthroughout all First Nations communities ofQuebec in an effort to gather the priorities ofthe communities’ sectors. The questionnairewas also adapted and distributed to theQuebec Native Women, the Regroupementdes centres d’amitié autochtones du Québec,and the representative of the First Nations ofQuebec and Labrador Youth Council.
9
With the goal of supporting the communityconsultations, a communication plan wasdeveloped. The communication strategieswere also adapted to each of the communi-ties. The community radios, the communitynewspapers, local posting in conspicuousspots and mailing to each community mem-ber, were the most utilized tools.
The FNSEF, along with the FNQLEDC metwith several First Nations and non-Aboriginalgroups of interest for the presentation of thethemes and objectives of the Socio-EconomicForum.
The intent is to pursue the consultationprocess until May 2006 in order to be fullyprepared for the Forum. This process will befollowed by the elaboration of commitmentsby the government partners, the civil societyand the First Nations, which shall lead to thehosting of the Forum in October 2006 in theMashteuiatsh community.

As of March 31,2006, five sessions had been provided andfifteen more are in the plans. Subsequent tothese sessions, an assessment of the pro-ject’s viability will be conducted.
The FNQLEDC assists the CEDOs on a regularbasis in their requests for support, especiallyduring their hiring process.
6. RESEARCH ANDDEVELOPMENT
The research for funding with the key fundingproviders constitutes a major file for theCommission. The General Directorship dedi-cates continued efforts to that purpose. Theoperational budget will be increased in thenext fiscal year and this will translate into
beneficial impacts on our operations. Withthis in mind, the FNQLEDC will be in a posi-tion to expand its initiatives in order toproperly meet the needs of its members.
At the request of the CEDOs, and in order tosupport them in their tasks, the FNQLEDCpublished and distributed in January 2006,a working document called Reference Tool.The CEDOs presented another request to theCommission at the January 2006 session.The officers would like to be provided witha starting kit. This new tool will be based onthe same model as the Reference Tool. Weare currently working on the elaboration ofthe content and we expect to have completedit by next year.

AUDITORS' REPORT
To the members ofFirst Nations of Quebec and LabradorEconomic Development Commission
We have audited the balance sheet of First Nations of Quebec and Labrador EconomicDevelopment Commission as at March 31, 2006 and the statements of operations and changesin net assets for the year then ended. These financial statements have been prepared to com-ply with the guidelines included in the year end Manual of the Department of Indian Affairsand Northern Development. These financial statements are the responsibility of the commis-sion's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statementsbased on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards.Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurancewhether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining,on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Anaudit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made bymanagement, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
In our opinion, these financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financialposition of the commission as at March 31, 2006 and the results of its operations and its cashflows for the year then ended in accordance with the accounting policies as described in note2 to the financial statements.
These financial statements, which have not been, and were not intended to be, prepared inaccordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles, are solely for the infor-mation and use of the directors and members of the commission and by the Department ofIndian Affairs and Northern Development. The financial statements are not intended to beand should not be used by anyone other than the specified users or for any other purpose.
