QUEBEC CITY - Quebec and the federal government have signed a
negotiating framework with the La Nation Micmac de Gespeg in Quebec.

The agreement clears the way for negotiations on self-government.
The Gespeg live on the north shore of the Bay of Chaleurs. They were
recognized by 1973 treaty,
but they have no reserve.
Chief Linda Jean Simon says the negotiations can cover self-government
without getting bogged
down in a defined land base.
Quebec's Native Affairs Minister, Guy Chevrette, said the province is
ready to negotiate shared
jurisdiction over natural resources. He said the federal government will
provide the money.
The negotiations will also deal with territorial rights and traditional
activities such as hunting and
trapping.
