La province de Québec s'est engagée à ne pas délivrer de permis d'exploration minière pour ces terres, a indiqué que celles-ci devaient faire partie du parc de la Gatineau et a garanti que les droits transférés concernaient des titres de propriété détenus en bonne et due forme.
The province also transferred the control and management of the lake bottoms located in the park. The Province of Quebec committed itself to not issue mining exploration permits, stipulated that the land it was transferring was to form the park of Gatineau Park, and guaranteed that the rights it was transferring were free of all defects in title.
