They're absolutely demoralized. This case is perplexing. I mean, I try to study it from both sides. I work with the Mi'kmaq; I work with commercial fishers, and I work with fisheries officers all the time. I've been trying to understand it to the best of my abilities. One independent review went one way, and one review went the other way. I don't really understand.
I just know that the officers are demoralized completely, and I know they're looking for other work currently. I've been trying to get my son, one of the only African-Canadian fishers in the province, to join the force—fisheries—and right now I'm thinking I shouldn't do that.
You know, the political interference.... I don't know about this case. I know about a bunch of other cases. In this case, I'm not quite sure yet, but the political interference on these officers and the stress on them and the danger.... This is real. Somebody's going to die in Nova Scotia this year, I'm assuming. It's going to be an officer, an indigenous person, a commercial fisher or somebody. Somebody's going to die. These people are under major duress, and it's being ignored.
