Mr. Speaker, some Mi'kmaq leaders insist that the supreme court's Marshall decision applies to Newfoundland. A small group of Mi'kmaq have already gone to Newfoundland to fish crab and that has sparked confrontation and violence.
Yesterday, Premier Tobin said that unequivocally the Marshall decision does not apply to Newfoundland. Could the Minister of Fisheries and Oceans tell us if he agrees with Premier Tobin, or does he agree with the Mi'kmaq leaders?
