From my understanding, working closely with a number of first nation communities, the implementation of our right is the most important thing, and doing so from a Mi'kmaq management value. The way DFO has tried to implement this right in the past was done top-down without understanding the Mi'kmaq side.
Provide us an opportunity to implement, to demonstrate and to fish for our livelihood, and then let's have a conversation about how we can manage the sustainability of the overall resource.
