Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I find the witness group we have right now very interesting, because we seem to have two different perspectives on the issue.
My questions will be addressed to both Mr. Roman and Mr. Zscheile, who will be able to answer them one after the other. I will start with Mr. Roman.
Mr. Roman, does the case law on indigenous fishing rights suggest, or could potentially suggest, that the exercise of fishing rights by indigenous communities takes precedence over the exercise of fishing rights by non-indigenous communities? Are these two activities legally on an equal footing?
