We'll wait for your response regarding zone 18. However, I'll keep talking about the Côte‑Nord. In the notice of interest for fishers in zone 18 on the Côte‑Nord, dated April 11, 2024, one sentence caught my attention. It reads as follows: “It should be noted that indigenous communities are not required to meet the eligibility criteria.”
Of course, there are criteria, and not everyone can expect to obtain an exploratory fishing licence. However, why was this sentence included?
