Mr. Speaker, the minister proved once again that this is question period not answer period.
The Mi'kmaq treaty placed restrictions on the Mi'kmaq right to trade. The supreme court twisted that to allow for a race-based priority fishery. The Nisga'a treaty allows for a race-based priority right to fish on the west coast.
The Marshall decision has created havoc on the east coast. With 50 unresolved issues, the Nisga'a treaty will create havoc on the west coast.
Why is the government perpetuating the chaos of a flawed court decision by proposing flawed legislation?
