Mr. Speaker, I do not want to prejudice the work of the minister in terms of her negotiations with Mi'kmaq communities. I know the conversations have been beneficial and positive from what I have heard from the indigenous leaders in my riding. Right now, all options are on the table on the best way to move forward. I know indigenous communities have developed their own self-management plans.
I do not have a fishing management background and I do not have the benefit of DFO providing context. However, I do know our government is open to find a pathway forward to create the certainty that everyone is seeking.
