Reconciliation Canada stands with the Mi’kmaq People who are lawfully trying to exercise their inherent right to fish as affirmed by the Supreme Court of Canada 21 years ago. Reconciliation Canada is horrified by the racial tension rising on the shores of Nova Scotia over the lobster fishery. It is inexcusable that the Mi’kmaq People still cannot exercise their inherent right to fish as affirmed in the landmark supreme court ruling in the case of Donald Marshall Jr.. The ruli...ng affirmed that Mi’kmaq had the right to earn a moderate living from the fishery. We are a nation that cherishes the rule of law. But we also stand proudly on the premise that this law is entrenched solidly on the redeeming notions of justice and equality. So, why are we here in this moment confronted with signs of hatred, violence and vigilantism? Why is the verdict of our highest court in the land not applied, not honoured? Twenty-one years is far too long. We have all failed the Mi’kmaq. Our relationship, Indigenous and non-indigenous, is on trial once again, just as it was on the Wetsuwaten stand-off. Reconciliation Canada calls on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to engage his high office’s influence to bring all the parties together to seek resolution mutually. To call for peace and reconciliation that creates a pathway forward that is inclusive and shares prosperity. We call on the Minister of Fisheries and the Department of Fisheries to avail all of its resources and expertise to expedite a process that will lead to mutual agreement and benefit. To the RCMP, keep the peace and protect and serve. To all others, call for a peaceful and just solution to this precarious conflict. Let us try to advance reconciliation. Namwayut- We are all one.
