Global News published this video item, entitled “Trudeau announces move to protect Canada’s oceans, support local fisheries | LIVE” – below is their description.
Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will make an announcement on ocean protection and take questions from the media Tuesday afternoon during a visit to the Lower Mainland in British Columbia. Minister of Transport Omar Alghabra and Minister of Fisheries, Oceans and the Canadian Coast Guard Joyce Murray will also be in attendance.
A new report released by the Senate Committee on Fisheries and Oceans says the federal government is failing First Nations fishers and the time to act is now.
The report, named Peace on the Water: Advancing the Full Implementation of Mi’kmaq, Wolastoqiyik and Peskotomuhkati Rights-Based Fisheries, comes 23 years after a Supreme Court of Canada ruling upheld treaty fishing rights.
Following five months of interviews with First Nations leaders, commercial fisheries representatives, academics and government officials, the standing senate committee landed on 10 recommendations.
One of those recommendations includes reallocating commercial traps to the Mi’kmaq, Wolastoqiyik and Peskotomuhkati.
