In testimony we've heard from first nations and non-first nations groups. As a matter of fact, our colleague, Mr. Morrissey, brought up a great point earlier this week, which was that we have non-first nations and first nations that have lived side-by-side for generations. Both consider themselves to be traditional. This is their traditional livelihood. I appreciate that this is a delicate subject, but I know we are being inundated with letters and I would assume our colleagues are also being inundated with letters and comments. How do you assure that both sides are being weighted favourably so that our traditional fishers, both non-first nations and first nations, have the opportunities to continue?
