Canadian MPs hold hours-long emergency debate amidst Nova Scotia fisheries dispute | HIGHLIGHTS

Global News published this video item, entitled “Canadian MPs hold hours-long emergency debate amidst Nova Scotia fisheries dispute | HIGHLIGHTS” – below is their description.

Canadian MPs held an emergency debate Monday evening to discuss the deepening tensions between Indigenous and non-Indigenous fishers in Nova Scotia over a M’ikmaq “moderate livelihood” fishery. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said during the hours-long debate in the House of Commons that his government “strongly condemns” violence toward the Mi’kmaq community. Trudeau said the community has a treaty right to fish “without being subjected to threats or racism.” Meanwhile, the Member of Parliament for West Nova Chris D’Entremont made an impassioned plea, telling Canadians “please don’t paint my riding as racist.” D’Entremont said the majority of people in the riding, where tensions have escalated over a Mi’kmaw “moderate livelihood” lobster fisher, are “scared” and “worried about what’s happening in their communities.” For more info, please go to http://www.globalnews.ca Subscribe to Global News Channel HERE: http://bit.ly/20fcXDc Like Global News on Facebook HERE: http://bit.ly/255GMJQ Follow Global News on Twitter HERE: http://bit.ly/1Toz8mt Follow Global News on Instagram HERE: https://bit.ly/2QZaZIB #NovaScotia #CdnPoli #JustinTrudeau #MarshallDecision #Mikmaq #GlobalNews
