That's a difficult question to answer when you talk about an equal footing, because they aren't on equal footing, never have been, and never will be. That's because one group has treaty rights, and the other group doesn't.
My position isn't all that different from Mr. Zscheile's on most of the issues we have been discussing. The position of indigenous fishers, loggers, or whatever else, is always complicated, because it's a mix of statute and case law.
I don't really have a mandate to say who should fish how much, and I'm not a fisheries officer. If you're going to make new law, do it cleanly, which means pass a law, and don't misunderstand or misstate what the Supreme Court of Canada did and did not decide in the Donald Marshall case and the Stephen Marshall case.
