I hearken back to my earlier example of my community of Paqtnkek. Donald Marshall was fishing off of our reserve lands here. Paqtnkek didn't sign a Marshall agreement; we didn't sign an AFS agreement. The reason we didn't sign those agreements is that there was no mandate to discuss the right. What government essentially did was to say, “Here's an agreement. We have no mandate, and there's no other option for you.”
This runs long and deep within many of our first nation communities. There's a distinct need to offer a different approach on this particular item, because shame on Canada for not recognizing Sparrow; double shame on Canada for not recognizing Marshall.
