Thank you, Minister.
I want to make sure I have time for a third question. I have so many questions to ask.
I wanted to touch on the reallocation of crab fishing quotas to first nations in an effort to reconcile the loss of traditional and constitutionally protected indigenous rights to catch and sell fish on the west coast of British Columbia. While we're seeing that there is agreement that first nations rights must be honoured to correct historical wrongs, there are frustrations on all sides about the lack of consultation with commercial fishers as well as first nations.
Commercial fishers shouldn't be bearing the costs of this decision. Will the government act quickly to fully compensate the impacted crab fishers for economic losses and invest in transitional supports so they may pursue other options for their livelihoods?
