Dr. Fuller, you mentioned in your presentation that there's been a failure by the government to meaningfully educate people, especially non-indigenous fishers, about the implications of the Marshall decision. In the 1991 report the committee did on the Marshall decision, the committee found that the government was unprepared for the decision, which led to violence and confusion. What is clear to me is that the government was, once again, unprepared when it comes to this Sipekne'katik and when they instituted their moderate livelihood fishery. What recommendations do you believe this committee could put forward to encourage the government to make that societal change to accept that we are all treaty people and have obligations under the existing treaty?
