Yes they are.

Here is some old news from 2020:

To quote :

On Feb. 17 ( 2020 ) the Quebec government and James Bay Cree signed a $4.7 billion memorandum of understanding to facilitate transportation for resource extraction industries, as well as initiatives to improve standard of living and protection of the territory.

The three-phase deal – part of a mandate known as "La Grande Alliance" – is the product of over a year of consultations within the Cree Nation Government and Cree community chiefs, and with the Quebec government. Some of the benefits of the plan include the creation of new jobs, increasing the value of Quebec’s natural resources and “positioning Quebec at the center of the global mining sector, especially [in] lithium.”
