Federal Fisheries Minister Bernadette Jordan released a plan Wednesday outlining conditions for Indigenous lobster fishers to participate in moderate livelihood fisheries during commercial seasons.

The Assembly of Nova Scotia Mi'kmaw Chiefs, however, said Ottawa's latest overture is "unacceptable."

The plan would also allow First Nations communities to sell moderate livelihood catches to processors, which is currently illegal under Nova Scotia regulations. The minister said the interim plan is a "path" that is "flexible and adaptable" and is based in the implementation of First Nations treaty rights, the conservation and sustainability of fish stocks, and transparent management of the fishery.

Sipekne'katik Chief Mike Sack said his band is not impressed with the government's new plan. The First Nation launched its own moderate livelihood fishery last fall in St. Mary's Bay, outside of the federally regulated season. "Minister Bernadette Jordan ... has also made unilateral decisions and asserted a position ... having full control over our Rights-based fishery. This is unacceptable.

Give everyone the exact same rules and everyone will be happy. No special rules for people because of their religion or ethnicity, that is religious discrimination and racial discrimination. We are all humans, the same species. Same rules for us all.

No systemic discrimination in Canada. No that does not exist here. Our First Nations people have been fishing lobster for centuries without endangering species.

Why not!

ask the RCMPNS to protect Indigenous fishermen then
