Mr. Speaker, the Liberals have spent well over $19 million fighting the Nuu-chah-nulth people in court, denying their fishing rights. Last month, the courts reaffirmed the rights of these nations to viable commercial fisheries for the third time.
The government needs to allow these nations to implement their rights so that indigenous fishers can get back on the water and contribute to their coastal economy.
Will the minister and the Prime Minister respect indigenous rights and confirm that it will not appeal this ruling?
