Thank you very much for that.
I've been a long-standing member of this committee, and we've talked to a lot of fishermen over the years. I know there have been significant investments by the Government of Canada to assist aboriginal people to be enabled to enter the commercial fishery in Atlantic Canada. Some of those investments would have been to purchase craft, quota and so on, to the point that I believe the total on-reserve fishing revenues for the Mi'kmaq and Maliseet grew from about $3 million in 1999 to about $152 million in 2016. I don't know if that number is accurate or not.
Is the growth we've been able to provide for aboriginal fishers, in your opinion, enough to satisfy the modest livelihood they would have in a communal-based fishery if they were sharing that wealth?
