Procedure and House Affairs committee  Madam Chair, there are rules against both relevance and repetition. I would note that Ms. Duncan is repeating word for word what she said in previous meetings.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  I'm again reading word for word what Ms. Duncan is saying from a previous meeting. The last two paragraphs have been word for word what she said in a previous meeting. The rule of repetition states that can't happen. If she has new information to bring forward, she should

Fisheries committee  Thank you. Last week, the B.C. Court of Appeal once again affirmed that the five Nuu-chah-nulth nations' aboriginal right is a high priority in their court case. This is for Ms. Reid. Will the department recognize the priority of the nations' right and its importance

Fisheries committee  So recognizing the importance of last week's B.C. Court of Appeal decision, what actions will the department be taking for the 2021 fishing season to increase the allocations of chinook, coho, and other species in keeping with the priority of the five nations' aboriginal right

Procedure and House Affairs committee   don't know. MP Blaikie knows. It was the Saint John Sea Dogs, which is certainly one of the most successful major junior organizations in the country. Yes, MP Lauzon, they're more successful than the Gatineau Olympiques. I take that back. Maybe they're not quite as successful

Fisheries committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. It's great to be back. Mr. Sproul, as you know, in 1999 the Supreme Court clarified: The paramount regulatory objective is the conservation of the resource. This responsibility is placed squarely on the Minister and not on the aboriginal or non

Procedure and House Affairs committee  During the election, what was the range of coronavirus cases you had, and what was the average number of daily cases, for example, for Moncton, Saint John and Fredericton? Would you be willing to table that with the committee?

Fisheries committee   rights to fish or to earn a moderate living. The DFO interim policy response of the aboriginal fisheries strategy, the FSC licensing system and other access programs don't address the treaty-protected inherent rights of first nations. Is your government going to address the decades

Fisheries committee  We have heard about DFO obviously wanting to work more towards an aboriginal communal licence that could be made available, but that's inconsistent with the nature of their section 35 rights for the Sipekne'katik. What other viable option is available to the minister? We've

Fisheries committee  Thank you for sharing that story. The Mi'kmaq Rights Initiative is seeking consensus—that's my understanding—on the best ways to implement the aboriginal treaty rights for the Mi'kmaq. Can you talk about what progress has been made in the last 20 years? Do you believe
