Global News published this video item, entitled “Canadian ministers to provide update on Nova Scotia fisheries dispute | LIVE” – below is their description.
Canadian ministers are expected to provide an update on the Nova Scotia fisheries dispute on Monday as four cabinet ministers and the NDP have requested an emergency debate in the House of Commons over the treaty dispute between commercial fishermen and Mi’kmaq fishers. The increased attention from Ottawa comes after a lobster pound that stored the catch of Mi’kmaq fishers burned to the ground on Saturday morning. A man described as a person of interest in the blaze is in the hospital with life-threatening injuries. The Mounties have made two arrests in relation to other incidents linked to the dispute, charging one man with assault against a local Indigenous chief and charging another with arson for allegedly burning a vehicle. Non-Indigenous fishers in Nova Scotia take issue with the Mi’kmaq fishing outside the federally determined fishing season, but Ottawa notes that the treaty right for the Mik’maq to fish for a moderate living is constitutionally protected.
