POINTE-A-LA-CROIX, QUE. An Indigenous community in eastern Quebec has signed a five-year agreement with Ottawa to develop a collaborative approach to governing the band s fisheries. The federal Fisheries Department issued a statement Sunday saying the Rights Reconciliation Agreement on Fisheries represents a starting point for discussions with the Listuguj First Nation. Fisheries Minister Bernadette Jordan says the agreement allows for a collaborative approach to fisheries governance and upholds the treaty rights of Mi kmaq First Nations to harvest and sell fish in pursuit of a moderate livelihood. Jordan says the agreement could help the band achieve economic self-reliance by obtaining more fishing licences, as well as more boats and gear.

The New Brunswick government is pulling out of tax-sharing agreements with 13 Mi kmaq and Wolastoqey First Nations, invoking its right to terminate some of the deals as early as this July.
Those agreements, which date back to 1994 and were last renewed in 2017, have fuelled economic growth in some Indigenous communities, particularly those that have built large gas retailers on reserve land.
The deals allow the First Nations to keep 95 per cent of on-reserve gas tax revenue up to $8 million and 70 per cent of amounts beyond that.

Mi’kmaq chiefs in Nova Scotia say Ottawa’s new plan to address a conflict between Indigenous and commercial fishers is an attempt by government to control fishing rights that aren’t in its mandate.
The Mi’kmaq treaty right to fish shouldn’t be defined by industry or the federal government, Chief Gerald Toney of the Assembly of Nova Scotia Mi’kmaq Chiefs told a virtual news conference Thursday.
