Well, I think adjacency is a very important matter before this panel, because if we go back and look, in my documentation, at the Beothuks.... I'm going to take you back a little bit in history, because I think this is a very important point. The Beothuks landed here or were here before the white man showed up on our shore.
The land claims agreements say that we have to give access to stocks, and they're not species-specific, which is very important, because when they talk about the inshore they say we have to be species-specific. We have to have taken part in the shrimp fishery in order to be considered a part of the group to fish, whereas the land claims agreement are not species-specific.
So there's a double-edged sword here. I don't understand how you can say that as long as the Beothuks or the aboriginal people put their foot in the water in the Atlantic, it's okay; that they get access and rights to it. I don't disagree that they should have access, but why treat the white man now differently? We're being discriminated against.
