Thank you for that.
I have another question. I've heard a lot of testimony that we can't have a separate Mi'kmaq fishery outside of the Fisheries Act. I'm confused about that, because within our Fisheries Act, in 2019, section 2.3 says: “This Act is to be construed as upholding the rights of Indigenous peoples recognized and affirmed by section 35 of the Constitution Act, 1982, and not as abrogating or derogating from them.”
Do you think that our Fisheries Act is recognizing the legal plurality of the Mi'kmaq to govern their own fisheries as part of this?
