Mr. Speaker, as I have mentioned before in the House, sometimes the words that are used are that this is an illegal fisher or that it is unauthorized. The fact is that the court has established the right exists.
The Sipekne'katik in moving forward with its fishing rights is not doing anything unlawful. The parameters or any type of limitation had never been set by the Government of Canada. I am not suggesting that necessarily should happen, but we do need a framework to create certainty so the indigenous communities that I represent have the ability and understanding of how they go about exercising their right and, at the same time, commercial fishermen understand how that right coexists within the existing system.
