Mr. Chair, I am looking for the number of meetings with commercial harvesters in rural Nova Scotia.

Mr. Chair, I have met continually with harvesters from Atlantic Canada, from rural Nova Scotia, over the last year since I have become the Minister of Fisheries and Oceans. I will continue to do that. It is vitally important that we hear what their needs are and that we address them.

Mr. Chair, “vitally important” are the words she used in her maiden speech. She cannot answer how many meetings she has had, organized by her office as minister, in rural communities in Nova Scotia. I do not mean bumping into her neighbour. How many meetings has she organized in her capacity in rural Nova Scotia?

Mr. Chair, as I have said, I have had countless meetings with commercial harvesters since I was first appointed minister and before I was minister. This is something that is important in my riding.
Commercial harvesters play an integral role in our communities and I will continue to meet with them to ensure we address the concerns that I hear from them every day of the year.

Over the same time period, Mr. Chair, how many meetings have there been with indigenous leaders in the community on the fishery?

Mr. Chair, once again, I have been meeting with the indigenous communities in Atlantic Canada as well as indigenous people right across the country when it comes to the fishery. That is part of the role of the Minister of Fisheries and Oceans. They need to be consulted. They need to be heard. That is one of the things I will continue to do.

Mr. Chair, how many proactive meetings did the minister organize with indigenous leaders in her 15 months as minister?
View Bernadette Jordan Profile
Lib. (NS)
Mr. Chair, I have had a number of meetings with commercial harvesters as well as with indigenous people and first nations communities. It is imperative that the Minister of Fisheries and Oceans continues to have those conversations. That is something I will continue to do.

Mr. Chair, will the minister confirm that she only reached out to Chief Mike Sack after reading his comments in the paper about the fishery dispute?
View Bernadette Jordan Profile
Lib. (NS)
No, Mr. Chair, I had many meetings with Chief Sack over the last number of months. I will continue to do that. It is part of the negotiation process. It is important that we continue to have conversations with the chief, with all the chiefs. That is what I have been doing and that is what I will continue to doing.

Mr. Chair, the minister previously said that she had not read the Marshall decisions that led to the indigenous fishery and the dispute in Nova Scotia. Has she since read the two Marshall decisions?
View Bernadette Jordan Profile
Lib. (NS)
Mr. Chair, I have read the Marshall decision. The decision is extremely important. It affirms the Supreme Court decision on the right for first nations to fish. We will continue to work with them to ensure we implement that right.

Mr. Chair, the second Marshall decision actually clarifies the first Marshall decision, because there were questions around that decision. The second has ensured that it is clarified so we can make sure we move forward to ensure we implement the right.

Mr. Chair, implementing the right and providing for conservation means that Indigenous Crown-Relations and Fisheries and Oceans must meet together to get this done. How many regular meetings on a monthly basis does she have with the Minister of Crown-Indigenous Relations?
