[Maritime Q-Scout]

You can't cry conservation on whim.

Dalhousie University issued a statement that the indigenous fishery doesn't harm conservation.

This isn't a conservation issue. It's a racial one. If it were a conservation issue then the fishers would be trying foul of Clearwater.

Restore order. Respect the rules. Uphold treaty rights.

I'm all for defining a moderate living. Since the number of traps per Mi'kmaq fisher is lower than that of a federal licensee (I believe its about 1/5 the traps but in fairness I'm going on my fuzzy memory here) then their treaty rights should be respected as it currently is until an agreement on the definition of "moderate" is determined.
