In 2015 when we formed government, there had not been any agreements with any of the first nations in Atlantic Canada. In 2017, we as a government came out with a mandate to negotiate with first nations on rights and reconciliation agreements with fisheries components.
We have actually made significant progress since 2017 on those agreements. We know there's a lot more to be done. We know it is a challenge for first nations and governments to come together to make sure that we implement those rights. As I said, we have signed three agreements now. We have others that are very close to being signed. We know there are communities that want to have ongoing agreements with the Government of Canada to exercise their moderate livelihood, and that has to be the priority.
I will say that we have been working diligently since 2017 when we first got the mandate to do this in order to make sure we could address some of these first nation communities and the long-standing issue of a right that has not been implemented.
