GC31 Native Indian Fishing Rights (1986N135)

WHEREAS the Agriculture and Food Resources Committee supports the native Indian claims to fishing rights; and

WHEREAS it makes more sense to enhance the ability of Indian people to support themselves through the fishing industry, rather than force them on to social assistance:

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the 31st General Council requests the General Secretary of General Council to request the federal, and where appropriate, the provincial governments to clarify, strengthen and guarantee Indian fishery rights in full consultation with the Indian people; this to include Licensing Principles and Licensing Boards.
