Do the Mi'kmaw people also work during the commercial season, I don't see why they couldn't/wouldn't.
So is that the real problem? One group gets to double dip?

the first nation fishery is the primary fishery, that's the whole point of a treaty obligation, unless we want to give them their land back, which I assume we dont.
It's Canada's mortgage payment to the band for all the good parts of Nova Scotia, the decent harbors, the rivers with salmon in etc, while its true first nations didnt live everywhere they lived everywhere we like to live now and we have to pay a minimal rent for it, a few thousand lobsters, salmon etc anyone that objects to this should be ashamed.
