Thank you, Mr. Généreux.
Ms. Lemire, I understand the desire to prioritize the first nations and that everyone supports reconciliation. However, why should they be allocated up to 55% of the exploratory licences when they account for only 9% of the Gaspésie population?
Furthermore, why allocate up to 50% of exploratory licences on the Côte‑Nord to the Innu, when they account for only 17% of the population?
In short, why give indigenous people a number of exploratory fishing licences that really exceeds the relative weight of their population?
