Well you guys know more about it then I do that’s for, we’ll have to wait and see.
Just going off what my experience in dealing with these groups has been. We gave them ownership in drilling companies and construction companies and oil companies, everybody was freaking out about it. After a few months it all settled down and we never see them around. Oh they get their checks from their gifted shares but theirs no interference.

- Remember that someone said they would Give all the fish to FN?
- Well it looks like that is happening.
- The goals of the Agreement signed today include, increased commercial fishing opportunities; community based fisheries capacity for First Nations on the north and central coasts of British Columbia; and the establishment of a collaborative governance and management arrangement that will involve other First Nations and stakeholders.
- The Coastal First Nations Fisheries Resources Reconciliation Agreement will provide support for First Nations access to fisheries licenses and quota while also leveraging income generated through a corporate fishery model to support community-based fisheries.

"There is no relationship more important to the Government of Canada than the one with Indigenous peoples."
There should be ONE relationship at least as important, if not more so, to the Government of Canada. That's the relationship between the Government of Canada and the Canadian Citizens who pay the taxes to keep the fricking Government of Canada running.

Have to say I am not looking forward to this is going to play out on the Fraser and Skeena.
The federal government has signed an agreement with seven First Nations on British Columbia's north and central coast that will give them more access to commercial fishing and a role in fisheries management.
Crown-Indigenous Relations Minister Carolyn Bennett and Fisheries Minister Jonathan Wilkinson made the announcement along with representatives of the seven nations on Friday.
The government says the agreement means the Coastal First Nations will have better access to existing commercial fishing licences and quota in their own territories and they'll have a role in fisheries governance, although the Department of Fisheries will have overarching management duties.
Bennett says in a news release that fish are central to the culture and livelihood of many First Nations and increasing access to economic opportunities supports healthy and self-reliant communities.
Chief Marilyn Slett, president of the Coastal First Nations, says the agreement will get families back on the water, re-establish a small boat fleet and allow communities to fully take part in the fishing economy.
Wilkinson says the historic agreement is the result of years of collaborative work to strengthen relations between the government of Canada and Coastal First Nations.
"The agreement marks a critical step forward and underscores the government's commitment to ensuring the growth and sustainability of community-based fisheries."

None of this should be forgotten in the fall election. Our present government is slowly killing both the commercial and recreational fishery. Gerald Butts is back on the scene, influencing the P.M. Butts is the former chair of the World Wildlife Fund, so we all know where Justin is getting his talking points from.
