Traditional land use plan needed: panel The First Nations are not alone in their critique of LARP. In its final report, the joint review panel for Shell{\textquoteright}s Jackpine Mine expansion bemoaned the lack of a forum for concerns around Aboriginal rights to be heard in the province in relation to oilsands development, and recommended the province include consideration of traditional land use (TLU) within LARP.

"The absence of a management framework and associated thresholds for TLU makes it very difficult for Aboriginal groups, industry, and panels such as this one to evaluate the impact of individual projects on TLU. The Panel believes that to inform land use planning and allow better assessment of both project and cumulative effects on Aboriginal TLU, rights, and culture, a TLU management framework should be developed for the Lower Athabasca Region," the panel wrote.},
