Madam Chair, the minister and I had several conversations about ensuring that all fishermen were part of the fish harvester benefit and grant program. Specifically, we had plenty of conversations about some of the Mi'kmaq communal commercial fisheries that were left out in the discussions we have had over the past few months because several Mi'kmaq are part of the communal commercial fisheries. They fish alongside all other fishermen during the seasons and have done so successfully for a number of years. I can think of Crane Cove fisheries as one of them that, in my home community, employs close to 100 fishermen who are part of this group.
Could the minister speak to how we ensured that all fishermen were part of the fish harvester benefit in furthering reconciliation?
