Mr. Speaker, from the Nuu-chah-nulth on the west coast to the Mi'kmaq on th east coast, the Liberals have spent millions on lawyers to fight indigenous fishing rights. Time and time again, the courts have upheld indigenous fishing rights.
Now the Liberals are talking out of both sides of their mouths, but by trying to play both sides, they are leaving DFO officials without a clear mandate and they are putting lives at risk.
Will the minister finally back up her claims that she supports self-determination by actually upholding inherent and constitutionally protected rights?
