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.

Jordan says the agreement could help the band achieve economic self-reliance by obtaining more fishing licences, as well as more boats and gear.
