Mr. Speaker, I am glad the Minister of Fisheries and Oceans answered for the Prime Minister.
Last year the Minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development made this statement about the effect of the Marshall decision right off the cuff:
Any fishing rights recognized in the Marshall decision are extended to other resources such as forestry, oil and gas.
I would still like the Prime Minister to answer the question. Is it comments like these from the minister that are the real reason for the escalation of events in Burnt Church?
