Mr. Speaker, I think the problem here is that the hon. member is mixing up short term and long term solutions.
That could perhaps be part of a long term solution. It is a way to integrate the native fishery into the existing fishery. The bottom line for the fishery has to be very simple: a commercial fishery based on rules and regulations, the same seasons, the same trap limits and the same lobster fishing areas for everyone in the fishery.
We can find ways and we can be innovative and we can bring the Mi'kmaw fishers into the fishery, but we have to do it under one set of rules with one set of regulations for everyone in the fishery.
